Prayer For Illumination Presbyterian
Gracious Lord, like Nicodemus, we come to the word with many questions. Like the Pharisees,
we can be captivated by correctness, intent on right answers. As we turn to your word, Spirit of
God, do not let our desire for information dominate our need for transformation. Let us hear
the word and be moved to greater faith and obedience. Amen.
Gracious God, we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from your mouth.
Make us hungry for this heavenly food, that it may nourish us today in the ways of eternal life;
through Jesus Christ, the bread of heaven. Amen.

and freely choose the way of your wisdom; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
