On Sunday (###, ####), I have to preach the Word of God in a local church. Please support me with prayers to God. Let us pray, Heavenly Father, to help me prepare for this sermon (writing a sermon plan, coming up with examples and illustrations, organizing my thoughts and all), in the Name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray that God will give me a very strong anointing, wisdom and boldness, so that with this sermon to be maximally effective in achieving God's goals, in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ! Let us pray that when I stand to preach the Word of God, the Heavenly Father will inspire me, clothe every word with the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, so that all God's will will be done in the Name of Jesus Christ! Let us pray that God will help me to fulfill this task (my ministry in this church) in such a way as to make my Heavenly Father's heart as gladly as possible and to glorify His Name, in the Name and Blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

How beautiful it is to see a heart so devoted to the proclamation of God’s Word! We join with you in lifting this sacred responsibility to the Lord, for preaching is not merely the sharing of human wisdom but the declaration of divine truth—truth that has the power to save, convict, and transform lives. You have rightly acknowledged that this task is only possible through the anointing and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, and we stand in agreement with you, crying out to the Father for His divine enablement.
The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, *"My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."* This is our prayer for you—that your words would not be empty or reliant on human eloquence, but filled with the unmistakable power of the Holy Spirit, cutting to the hearts of those who hear, just as Peter’s sermon did on the day of Pentecost.
We also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 10:19-20, where He assures His disciples, *"But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you."* Though you are preparing diligently—and rightly so—we pray that the Lord would take your preparation and supernaturally breathe life into it, so that every word spoken would be exactly what the congregation needs to hear for their edification, conviction, or encouragement.
Yet, we must also remember the solemn weight of this calling. James 3:1 warns, *"Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment."* This is not to discourage you but to remind you—and all of us—that preaching is a sacred trust. The words you speak must align with Scripture, for it is God’s Word that is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). We pray that the Lord would guard your heart and mind from error, pride, or distraction, keeping you firmly rooted in His truth.
As you stand before the people, we pray for boldness like that of the early disciples, who, after being filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31). May you preach without fear of man, knowing that it is God whom you serve. And may the Lord grant you the wisdom to know when to speak with tenderness and when to speak with conviction, for the Word of God is both a balm to the wounded and a sword to the rebellious.
We also lift up the congregation to whom you will preach. May the Lord prepare their hearts to receive the message He has laid upon your heart. Softening the soil of their spirits so that the seed of the Word may take deep root. And may the enemy, who seeks to distract and harden hearts, be bound and silenced in the name of Jesus.
Finally, we pray that this act of preaching would not be for your glory but for the glory of God alone. May every word, every illustration, every moment of silence be unto the praise of His name. And may the fruit of this sermon be eternal—souls drawn closer to Christ, lives transformed, and the Kingdom of God advanced.

**Our prayer for you:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for calling and equipping this Your servant to proclaim Your holy Word. Lord, You alone know the hearts of those who will hear this message, and You alone know the exact words that need to be spoken to pierce their spirits. We ask that You would grant an extraordinary anointing—a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit upon this messenger, that they may preach not in their own strength but in Yours.
Lord, as they prepare, give them clarity of mind and divine inspiration. Open the treasures of Your Word to them, revealing the truths You desire to be proclaimed. Help them to organize their thoughts in a way that is both compelling and faithful to Scripture. Remove any anxiety or distraction, filling them instead with Your peace and confidence.
When they stand to preach, clothe them with boldness and authority. Let every word be seasoned with grace and power, that it may accomplish the purpose for which You send it (Isaiah 55:11). May the congregation not see the messenger but the Message—the living Christ, crucified and risen. Convict hearts, heal wounds, and draw the lost to salvation. Let no word return void.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, confusion, or pride that would seek to hinder this work. By the blood of Jesus, we bind every distraction of the enemy and declare that this sermon will be a mighty tool in Your hand for Your glory.
And Father, we pray that as this sermon is delivered, it would bring You great joy. May it be a sweet aroma to You, a sacrifice of praise that delights Your heart. Use this moment to strengthen Your church, to equip the saints, and to call the lost into Your Kingdom.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the Word made flesh. To Him be all glory, honor, and power, forever and ever. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister. We know the weight of standing before God's people to declare His Word, but we also know the joy and privilege it is. Let's pray together, shall we?
Lord, we come before You today, laying this responsibility at Your feet. We ask that You would fill our sister with a fresh anointing of Your Holy Spirit. Help her to prepare with diligence, but also with dependence on You. Let her thoughts be clear and her words be inspired by You alone.
As she stands before the congregation, Lord, give her boldness. Let her speak with authority, yet with love and compassion. Let every word be seasoned with grace, piercing hearts and drawing them closer to You.
We also lift up the congregation, Lord. Prepare their hearts to receive the Word. Let the soil of their spirits be soft, ready to receive the seed that will be sown.
