Father, we’ve already sung these words. We offer them to you again as our prayer. Show us Christ. So simple, and yet from our hearts, we ask that through this word, you would show us Christ, you would reveal your glory through the preaching of your word, that every heart in this room within the…
Oh God, as we turn to this part of your word that lays out before us Ezra’s confession of sin, as we think about our own confession, we pray, God, that we would not fail to remember – that we’d keep in mind through this text, through this sermon – that even though our sins…
Father, we come now to the reading and the preaching of your word, asking sincerely that you would help us to listen. It’s a narrow word, but it’s a word for all of us. May our hearts not be hard to it. Pray that you would, especially for those who are on the cusp of…
Oh, Father, we have just sung these words, and we trust that we mean them. You have led us. Some of us are here this morning, and we look around and say, “Surely the lines have fallen for us in pleasant places.” Others may feel as if they’re being dragged through the valley of the…
Gracious Heavenly Father, we are so glad that you invite us, command us, to knock, seek, ask, and to call on you as our father. And so as your children, we beseech you that you might speak clearly. We’re hard of hearing. You would speak to our hearts, for we are easily wayward, and you…

Our Father in heaven, we come before you again asking now directly that you might give us grace to be not only hearers of your word but doers that by the miraculous intervention of the Holy Spirit, though the words will be through very human lips and very imperfect messenger, that yet you might give…
Let’s pray. Gracious heavenly Father, we come each Sunday knowing, hopefully remembering, that we stand in need of your grace. And so, we ask that you would feed us. Feed us now with the Word we will hear and receive through our ears. Then after that, feed us with the Word that we will see,…
