 Father, we're so thankful for the many wonderful things that you've done for us. Father, you've been good to us so much better than we deserve. And Father, we pray that you would lead, guide, and direct in the message. Father, you know the need better than we do. Help us, Father, to preach it and, Father, to teach your word that it would accomplish your will, that souls could be saved and your people could be drawn close to you. Father, we ask for these blessings and we ask it all in the name of Jesus for he is worthy. Amen.
