A CHRISTIAN'S SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER
My Father and My God!
You are awesome in holiness, wondrous in truth, glorious in goodness and splendor, and abundant in mercy!
You are amazing in grace, ineffable in love, and sovereign in redemption.
You alone can and do save sinners from sin, self, death, Hell, and the power of Satan.
You alone can and do regenerate the soul and create faith within the heart and impart everlasting life because You: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are God!
Thank You, Father, for salvation!
Thank You for granting all Your elect mercy and grace!
Father, I do love You.
I know my love is not what it ought to be, but I do love You because You first loved me.
You have poured Your love into my heart by the Holy Spirit so that I would love You, Your church, my brothers and sisters in Christ, my neighbors, and even those who hate me.
Strengthen and increase my love for You and Your people, the sheep of Your hand!
Father, bless me with courage, confidence, spiritual strength, and holy zeal for the truth.
Grant me greater discernment, wisdom, understanding, and obedience to Your Word.
Lord Jesus, as You know, it's hard living in this fallen, sin-cursed, God-hating world.
"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Heb. 4:15).
I find it more and more difficult every day.
Temptations, trials, sicknesses, lusts, sufferings, persecutions, tribulation, and death seem to be around every corner.
As David wrote, "But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death" (1 Samuel 20:3).
Strengthen me, strengthen all Your people, the sheep of Your hand for Your worship and service!
Bless us to worship You this morning. To bow to Your Word and sing out the honor of Your name!
Give us ears to hear and hearts to believe Your Word.
Bless us as we anticipate gathering as a congregation to exalt Your holy name as You alone are worthy of honor and praise!
Help all preachers to preach for the glory and praise of Christ and the good of their congregation.
Give us wisdom, zeal, and understanding so that we might glorify You as we unfold the text of Scripture.
Holy Spirit, thank You for Your love.
Thank You for rescuing me and all Your people, blessing us, and preserving us in Christ Jesus for Your eternal kingdom!
Use me up for the cause of Jesus Christ.
Cause me to decrease so that Christ might increase!
Cause the name of Jesus to be exalted through the ministry of the Word and the ministry of the Church!
Bring reformation and then revival upon Your people, and cause a holy zeal for Your glory to spread like wildfire.
Build up Your Church for Your glory, praise, and worship!
Thank You, Father, for hearing my prayer!
May Jesus be exalted.
In His name I pray.
Amen!
