Today, pray these words from Psalm 86 as you prepare to lead God’s people:
“Be gracious to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. . . . Lord, hear my prayer; listen to my cries for mercy. . . . Teach me your way, Lord, and I will live by your truth. Give me an undivided mind to fear your name. . . . Turn to me and be gracious to me. Give your strength to your servant.” (vv. 3, 6, 11, 16).
