Oh Lord, give me the strength both spiritually and physically to do the work you have called me to do.
Renew in me the gift of prophecy, that I may abound in visions and revelations; clearly seeing Your Face and hearing Your Voice, Oh Heavenly Father.
Add to me spiritual virtue that I may abound in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness and faith, Oh God.
Send to me Your Holy Ghost with an abundance of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge that I may bring forth words capable of uplifting the souls of your people who are downtrodden and discouraged, Oh God.
Cleanse my soul and life from all sin and iniquities that I may minister unto others without being guilty of hypocrisy and shame, Oh Lord.
Make me to be healthy in body and sound of mind so that I may have the strength and fortitude to pen Your words to Your children, Oh Gracious and Precious Heavenly Father.
Amen. ©10/29/2001 Jim Welch
