Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. We thank You for the privilege of knowing You and experiencing Your love and grace. We lift up Sister Giselle's prayer request for the Midweek Prayer Service and Bible Study.
Lord, we acknowledge that You are the source of all wisdom and knowledge. We ask that You bless this gathering with Your presence and anointing. Open our hearts and minds to receive a deeper understanding of Your Word and the wonderful things You have done in the past and continue to do in the present.
As we gather together, may we stand on holy ground, recognizing the sacredness of being in Your presence. Fill us with a hunger and thirst for Your truth, and may our study of the Scriptures lead us to a greater knowledge of who You are and a deeper intimacy with You.
Lord, we surrender ourselves to You completely. Make us Your own, that we may be vessels of Your love and grace in this world. Empower us by Your Holy Spirit to live lives that bring glory and honor to Your holy name.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, believing that You will hear and answer our prayers according to Your perfect will. Amen.
