Daily Prayer for the Lord's Day: March 30, 2025

Prayer: Grant to your people, almighty God, a sense of your presence as we gather to worship you today. We thank you for the Lord's day when we are reminded of the eternal promise of a heavenly and eternal rest in your comfortable presence. We praise you for giving us the blessing of the Lord's Day when we are reminded that this world is not our home. We know your Word teaches us that we are pilgrims and strangers in this sin-wrecked place. We know that we have not been removed from the world, but kept from it by the power of your Spirit. Yet, Father, we confess that we sometimes give in to the deceit of sin. We know that we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Therefore, we ask you to lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One. Please use your worship and the benefits of the Lord's Day to help us fight against the world, the flesh and the devil. 

We pray for the ministry of your Word today. We ask for you to give great grace to the man of your choosing as he preaches your eternal truths. May you give him the boldness to preach faithfully and not seek to appeal to those with itching ears. May you give him the wisdom to say the right words at the right moment. May the preaching of your Word be a powerful demonstration of your Spirit, and may it change hearts and minds and bring you glory and honor. We pray these things through Christ our Lord. Amen.
