Pastoral Prayer from

1 John 5:13–20 HCSB
13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 Now this is the confidence we have before Him: Whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for. 16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not bring death, he should ask, and God will give life to him—to those who commit sin that doesn’t bring death. There is sin that brings death. I am not saying he should pray about that. 17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin that does not bring death. 18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the One who is born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true One. We are in the true One—that is, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
Blessed Heavenly Father,
You are unspeakably great and greatly to be praised. How unsearchable are Your judgments and unfathomable are Your ways.
The eyes of all creation look to You, and You feed them in due time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living creature.
Father, this morning we seek satisfaction in You alone.
We are blessed by Your glorious salvation — the doctrine, the truth, the privileges and the promises. We understand by Your Gospel that we were utterly and hopelessly lost, but You sought us and found us.
We were poor and needy, but You filled our cup to overflowing.
We were in darkness, but Your brought us into the light.
We were in bondage to sin, but You bought us by the blood of Jesus in made us slaves to righteousness.
You became our Rock, our Fortress, our Refuge, Our Redeemer.
We thank you. In the name that is above every name, in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
