Prayer for Inspiration

Tomorrow, I will be leading a worship service at the First Congregational Parish of Kingston, MA. The title of my sermon reads: "Wandering Beyond a Pathetic Provincialism." As I head off to bed this evening, I pause and pray for inspiration:

God,
I need you to stand with me tomorrow.
I seek your presence
amidst my fear and uncertainty.
I ask for your steadfast strength
in the form of passion and confidence.
Let the words from my mouth
flow with humble honesty,
gathering in
hope,
inspiration,
faith.
God,
I need you to stand with me tomorrow.
Amen.
