We ask that this week, while Jesus Christ is lifted up in our speech, many may look unto him and be saved. You have promised to hear your people’s prayer, and this is a prayer that must be according to your mind; and it is for the honor of your dear Son; and it is put up in faith, put up in faith in Jesus; therefore you cannot run back from it, but you must keep that word to which in humble, but adoring faith, we hold you—“My word shall not return unto me void.” Give us then a great increase to the church, by the preaching of the gospel this week.
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16, CSB)
Amen.
