A Preacher’s Prayer

Geoff Gertzen 2014

Father,

Give me depth of understanding and clarity of thought.

Give me faithfulness to your word and wisdom in its application.

Give me perseverance in my labour and eyes set only on you.

Give me repentance of my sinful heart and humility amidst my pride.

Give me an attitude of service and a willingness to suffer.

Give me joy amidst the pain of my people and perseverance in my labour.

Give me a desire for your glory and the honour of your name alone.

Amen
