Prayer Before Preparing a Message

For the teacher who carries the Word

Lord, as I sit before Your Word, quiet my mind and still my heart. I am not preparing my message — I am seeking Yours. Let me rest in what You have already placed inside me. Teach me what my people need to hear this week. Give me clarity, compassion, and the peace of knowing this word came from You. I am only the vessel — You are the message. Amen.
