Prayers of Invocation on Preaching/Proclamation of God’s Word

Adapted from Psalm 19:14

May the words of my mouth.

And the meditations of each of our hearts be acceptable to you, our rock and our redeemer. Amen.

Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and your Word is proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen.
