All right, welcome to Monday meeting, everyone.

We're glad you're here.

I guess I'll pray for us since we're starting off prayer,

a Monday meeting and prayer by request of our listeners.

If y'all are listening, y'all pray with us.

Our Father in heaven, we thank you so much that your goodness toward us doesn't hinge upon our words or our prayers or the things that we ask for

uh lord we thank you that you are working all things in our lives and in the lives of your people to your own

glory Lord that you have your hand upon us and that you are moving us along the paths of righteousness

that you have set for us from the foundations of the world. Father our trust and our hope is in you and in the gospel of your son, Jesus Christ.

Father, you hear us as we joke and cut up and have a good time, Lord.

And I just ask that you would turn our minds now toward your word

and that we would be fed by your word

and that those who listen today would listen and be filled by your word.

For we know that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from your mouth, Lord.

And you have preserved your word for us in these holy scriptures that we now turn to.

We thank you for this gift that we have received from you, that we can know you, that we can know your will,

that we can know your goodness and your love for us through the revelation of your word

as it speaks to us, the truth.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this time, for this opportunity.

May your name be lifted up and magnified above all names,

O King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Amen.
