Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the precious name of Jesus, acknowledging Your presence and welcoming the Holy Spirit into our midst. We thank You for Your mercy and grace that are poured out upon us. We lift up our pastor, [Pastor's Name], before You, and we ask that You fill him with the Holy Spirit as he shares Your word with us tomorrow. May it not be his words, but Your words flowing through him, speaking directly to our hearts.
Lord, we humbly ask that You open our hearts to receive the glorious promises You have stored for us. Help us to have ears to hear and hearts that are receptive to Your truth. We long to know Your glory and to offer a sacrifice of praise unto You. Fill this temple, our church, with Your Spirit once again, that Your presence may be tangible and evident among us.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, believing that You will answer our prayers according to Your perfect will. Amen.
