A PRAYER FOR OUR READERS
Praise to you, Lord God,
King of the universe,
And glory to your name.
I praise and thank you for calling me
To proclaim your word to your beloved people.
Open the hearts of all who worship with us,
So that they may hear your voice when I read.
Let nothing in my life or manner disturb your people
Or close their hearts to the action of your spirit.
Cleanse my heart and mind,
And open my lips so that I may proclaim your glory.
All praise to you, heavenly Father,
Through the Lord Jesus
In the Holy Spirit,
Now and for ever. Amen!
