We will pray when we gather as a church in worship this Sunday. It is part of what a church does in its corporate worship. Our prayers will take several forms. We will offer praise and thanksgiving. We will confess our sins. We will make requests. Each of us will have the opportunity to pray silently, but, in at least some cases, we will have the opportunity to pray aloud. Some will lead us as a church in prayer, and we will have the opportunity to agree with what they are praying. In all this, we will do so following the example Jesus gave us in the model prayer and coming to God through Christ and His totally sufficient work. May we prepare for this time with minds and hearts focused on God’s greatness and gracious provision, humbly recognizing our unworthiness apart from Christ and trusting in Him to answer our petitions for His glory and the good of His kingdom.
