Today we close out our month of prayer with prayer for our Sunday gatherings – on the Lord’s Day.
From the Valley of Vision, we pray this together on the Lord’s Day Eve.
Another week has gone and I have been preserved
in my going out,
in my coming in.
Thine has been the vigilance that has turned threatened evils aside;
thine the supplies that have nourished me;
Thine the comforts that have indulged me;
Thine the relations and friends that have delighted me;
Thine the means of grace which have edified me;
Thine the Book, which, amidst all my enjoyments, has told me that this is not my rest,
that in all successes one thing alone is needful, to love my Saviour.
Nothing can equal the number of they mercies but my imperfections and sins.
These, O God, I will neither conceal nor palliate, but confess with a broken heart.
In what condition would secret reviews of my life leave me
were it not for the assurance that with thee there is plenteous redemption,
that thou art a forgiving God,
that thou mayest be feared!
While I hope for pardon through the blood of the cross,
I pray to be clothed with humility,
to be quickened in thy way,
to be more devoted to thee,
to keep the end of my life in view,
to be cured of the folly of delay and indecision,
to know how frail I am,
to number my days and apply my heart unto wisdom.
- Pray for the preaching of the Word tomorrow to be used by the Holy Spirit to transform hearts and lives
- Pray for the taking of the Lord’s Supper tomorrow to be sweet communion and a proclamation of the Lord’s death until He returns
- Pray for your own heart to engage with other believers as you sing, pray and listen to God’s Word
- Pray for OPBC’s witness to be clear as we seek to honor the Lord with simple excellence – pointing everyone to Christ
- Pray that what we hear, experience and do this Lord’s Day would extend to EVERY DAY for EVERYONE.
