Let’s pray, Father, I thank you for the opportunity to share the Word with the people of God. I pray that the Word would be made flesh while it is being preached, and that people would be blessed and strengthened. Give me nimbleness of thought and clarity of mind that I might effectively espouse the Word of God to the people of God. I thank you, Lord, because I know that wolves cannot eat sheep food, so somebody will starve this morning, so that somebody might be fed. Feed the flock of God of which the Holy Ghost has made me overseer, and I thank you for what you’re about to do, in Jesus’ name, somebody shout amen.
