Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you with a heart full of gratitude for your precious Word. You are the source of all truth, and I acknowledge your sovereignty over every aspect of our lives.

Lord, I lift up those who preach your Word, asking for your divine guidance, wisdom, and anointing upon them. May their hearts be attuned to your Spirit, and may they be filled with a deep understanding of your Word.

Grant them clarity of mind and speech as they proclaim the message of salvation. Let their preaching be rooted in the Scriptures and aligned with your truth. Father, may they speak with authority and conviction, boldly declaring the life-transforming power of your Word.

I pray that you would guard them against the influence of the enemy, protecting them from distractions, doubts, and any form of spiritual attack. Strengthen their faith and grant them unwavering confidence in the message they bring.

Lord, pour out your Spirit upon those who listen to the preaching. Open their hearts and minds to receive the truth of your Word with joy and humility. May your Word penetrate deep into their souls, bringing about repentance, faith, and spiritual growth.

I ask, Lord, that you would raise up preachers who are committed to sound doctrine, who rightly divide the Word of truth. Let their preaching be a beacon of light in a world that so desperately needs the hope found only in Christ.

Father, may your Word go forth with power, accomplishing its purpose in every heart and life. May your name be glorified through the solid preaching of your Word, and may it lead many to salvation and a deeper relationship with you.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
