This one is less than three minutes. It is not a sermon but a pastoral prayer, posted by Grace to You, and it is worth listening to just to hear how a pastor who has spent decades in the Word prays.

The prayer draws on John 10. We are the sheep, Christ is the Good Shepherd, He knows us and we know Him, He has given us eternal life, and no one will snatch us out of the Father’s hand. It goes on to thank God for full forgiveness, while still grieving over the sins that interrupt our fellowship and usefulness, and asks for holiness, obedience and a greater love for Him.

Use it to warm your heart before church tomorrow, or as a model for your own prayers.
