To Provide What Is Needed Through Your Word
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. Wherever and whenever believers gather around your Word, you enrich and strengthen your church. I pray that your Word – especially the gospel – is central to worship today everywhere your people are worshiping. Through your Word, provide what is needed for each worshiper. Use your law to afflict those who are comfortable in their sin, and your gospel to comfort those who are afflicted by their sin. Provide peace to anxious and unsettled hearts. Give courage and strength through your Word to those facing difficult tasks or decisions. Let your Word provide direction to those who are lost. Finally, let it bring forgiveness and salvation to all.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
