We know that God wants us to share our faith (Mark 16:15-16). People we work with or know very well do not always want to hear what we have to say. Many times we find ourselves in your situation.
Here is what I do:
Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.I ask God to open up doors for me to speak or share. These doors don't have to be opportunities to speak to hundreds or thousands, but they can be the opportunity to speak to one.
(Col. 4:2-4 NKJ)
God is able to open doors of opportunity to us. We simply have to pray and ask Him to do so. This is what the apostle Paul did and what we should do.
Notice how Paul referred to doors opening in this Scripture: "Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord" (2 Cor. 2:12 NKJ).
God opened a door for Paul to preach Christ in Troas. He can open a door for you to preach or share in your community. All you have to do is pray and ask Him to do it for you.
