We are honored to join you in prayer and preparation as you step forward to preach the Word of God. Let us come together in unity and lift this ministry up to our Heavenly Father.
Firstly, we acknowledge the importance of preparing for this sermon in God's will.
Ephesians 6:19 WEB "and for me; that words may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News"
Father, we ask that You guide the preparation of this sermon. Help write the sermon plan, inspire examples and illustrations, and organize thoughts in a way that will speak to the hearts of the congregation. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Next, we lift up protection and blessings for travel to and from the church.
Psalms 91:11 WEB "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."
Father, we ask for Your hedge of protection. Keep safe from any harm or distraction during travel, allowing for a peaceful journey to and from the church. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ.
We also pray for a strong anointing, wisdom, and boldness to effectively deliver the sermon and achieve God's goals.
Ephesians 6:19 WEB "and for me; that words may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Good News"
Father, clothe this message with the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Allow the words to resonate with those who hear it, bringing conviction, encouragement, and transformation. We pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.
As you stand to preach the Word of God, we pray for divine inspiration and the power of the Holy Spirit to be upon you.
Acts 4:31 WEB "When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness."
Father, inspire and anoint every word spoken. Let Your will be done through this sermon, touching lives and drawing souls closer to You. We pray this in the Name and Blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Lastly, we pray that this task will be fulfilled in a way that gladdens our Heavenly Father's heart and glorifies His Name.
Colossians 3:17 WEB "Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him."
Father, may this ministry bring joy to Your heart and glory to Your Name. We pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for including the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only in His name that we have access to God the Father.
John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
We stand with you in this ministry, and we are confident that God will use you powerfully.
