PRAYER FOR OUR CHURCH

Dear Lord, please bless our church today, 
And as we gather here,
We pray that You’ll prepare our hearts
To hear Your message clear.

Although we are unworthy of
Your Holy Name we bear,
We pray that through our lives, the world
Will feel Your tender care. 

Anoint our lips to testify
Of all Your love and grace,
And use our hands to aid each needy
Person that we face.

Help us to be responsive to
The Spirit’s still, small voice,
And may the way of Godliness
Be always our first choice.

Equip us with Your armor for
The battles that we fight,
And give us strength and courage as
We walk the path of light.

Increase our understanding of
The Scripture that we read,
And help us not grow weary as
We scatter precious seed.

We pray our church will always be
A beacon to all men,
Proclaiming truth and righteousness
Till Jesus comes again.
