Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your blessing and the presence of Your Holy Spirit to be with our fellowship. We pray for the power of God to be upon the preaching this evening. Grant us wisdom, favor, and open doors as promised in Your Word. According to Proverbs 2:6, "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." We also stand on Psalm 5:12, "For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield." And we trust in Revelation 3:7-8, "What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut."
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. In Jesus' name, Amen.
