Pastoral Prayer

“We dare to ask, O Lord, that Your Spirit fall afresh upon us with all His quickening powers; that He shed abroad our Savior’s love and kindle a flame of love in our cold hearts. Save us from offering to You only a form of worship without any real joy; deliver us from those secret sins and petty vices which keep us from knowing the peace that passes understanding and the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; redeem us from those habits of body and mind which make it difficult for the fruits of the Spirit to grow in us; rescue us from the bondage of past sins and bad experiences which keeps us from living victoriously in present circumstances.” (William B. Coker, Sr., World Gospel Church, 4-18-1993)
