Lord, as I stand before you tonight, I ask you to prepare my heart for your special Presence in the Assembly of the Saints tomorrow morning.
Please bring to my attention any sin that should be confessed. I want to be available with clean and empty hands.
I ask to hear you. I pray against any distraction and particularly ask that you would prepare all the children also. I ask that there could be a special joy and freedom in the music. I give you my not-so-great voice to energetically sing the hymns written by Soldiers of The Cross who have gone before.
I bring you my body and faculties to sit at attention, to listen for you and to love others.
Tonight I stand against any spirit of criticism and ask that those whom you have called together might honor you, worship you and recognize you.
Protect your preacher and give him freedom and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Open the Word to us and reveal yourself, Lord.
I want to pray against all the attempts of the enemy to get families stirred up before the meeting.
May there be the complete freedom of the Holy Spirit so that the Father might be glorified through the Son.
