Prayer Before Teaching at a Conference

Father, I am about to stand before people who have gathered hungry for Your Word. Some have traveled far. Some are carrying burdens I cannot see. Let me not waste a single moment on anything that isn't from You. I choose to rest in what You have already placed on my heart rather than striving to impress. Strip away everything that is performance and leave only what is true. Use my weakness as Your platform. Let them remember not what I taught — but what You did in that place. Amen.
