Two pre-sermon prayers

Lord God

You spoke and the cosmos jumped in eager obedience.

As we hear your word this morning, grant us that same response. Give us ears that delight to hear you and hearts that joyfully bend to your will.

For Jesus sake

Amen.

Eternal Word,

Speak to us today

Cut through our distraction, unbelief and hardness of heart so that we'll hear you and be changed.

Amen.
