Introduction Prayer

March 4 – Prayer
Merciful Father, by the blood of your Son, Jesus Christ, you have made me your child.  Speak to me the words that I need to say to you and give me your Word that I may with joy repeat back to you your sure and trustworthy Word.  Grant me boldness and confidence to enter your presence to lay before you my prayers and for you to graciously hear me.  Grant me persistence to come to you.  You are our Father.  You have tenderly invited me to approach your throne and so for your Name’s sake that you have called me by, grant me an audience and hear my pleas.  Through your Son, Jesus Christ, I pray.  Amen.
