Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of our anonymous friend who is seeking courage to serve in the closing prayer tomorrow. We ask for your divine guidance and strength to be upon them as they step forward to fulfill this important role.
Lord, you have promised in your word that you will equip and empower us for every good work that you have called us to do. We pray that you would fill our anonymous friend with your Holy Spirit, granting them the confidence and boldness they need to lead others in prayer.
We ask that you remove any fear or doubt that may be hindering them, and replace it with a deep sense of peace and assurance in your presence. Help them to trust in your unfailing love and to rely on your strength, knowing that you are with them every step of the way.
Father, we also pray for clarity of mind and the ability to articulate their thoughts and prayers effectively. May their words be pleasing to you and edifying to those who hear them. May their prayer be a sweet incense that rises up to you, bringing glory and honor to your name.
We thank you, Lord, for the privilege of serving you and being a vessel for your purposes. We pray that our anonymous friend would experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from obediently following your will. May their service in the closing prayer be a blessing to all who hear it.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
