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, that it may touch hearts and transform lives.
Grant us wisdom, favor, and open doors according to Your Word. As Proverbs 2:6 says, "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." We seek Your divine wisdom in all that we do.
We also stand on the promise of Psalm 5:12, "Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." Surround us with Your favor, Lord, and protect us as we gather in Your name.
And as Revelation 3:20 reminds us, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." We open the door of our hearts to You, Jesus, and invite You to dwell among us.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. In Jesus' name, Amen.
