Pastor, perhaps this prayer from Oswald Chambers should be one we pray each time we prepare to deliver a message…
“O Lord, that I might be brought into Your presence, and to see things from Your standpoint. I have to speak to Your people this morning, anoint me afresh, O Lord, with Your gracious Spirit. … O Lord, as we consider the ___ chapter of _______ this morning, light it up with Your glory; soften and subdue, inspire and thrill, and raise us on to the level of such glorious service that we may catch Your likeness.”
Amen!
Craig T. Owens
