OPENING PRAYER
How amazing You are, O God! The sun has risen once again, and along with it, Your new graces. Thank
You Lord, that from the moment we opened our eyes today, we are once again reminded that we have
our Father in heaven who loves us unceasingly and unconditionally. Your love for us is endless as You are
endless. Lord, we thank You for the gift of one another, for bringing us together as one community
united in the spirit with the desire to know You more. We thank You for Serviam, for helping us grow
and mature in our spiritual journey. Jesus, thank you for every member who reserved this time to listen
to our teaching for tonight – this our humble sacrifice of praise; may it be pleasing to You as incense
climbing to Your throne. Lord Jesus, You have made a way for tonight’s teaching possible. You have
cleared every schedule of our brothers and sisters to be able to attend. Right now Lord, even as we
anticipate words of wisdom from our teacher, Your mighty arm is raised over us. You are working in the
internet, You are working in our laptops, in our mobile phones. You are working, Lord Jesus, to combat
every distraction and disturbance that may hinder us from absorbing the teaching for tonight.
Father, as we devote this time to knowing You better to love You more, we ask for your most Holy Spirit
to descend upon each one of us right now. By the power of the Holy Spirit we ask for our hearts and ears
to be opened as we listen to our teacher for tonight, our beloved Tita Bai. We ask that Your mighty
anointing be upon her as she imparts her God-given wisdom to us. Bless her, Father, as You use her as
Your vessel in enlightening and empowering us to become true worshippers. Holy Spirit, we pray that as
we listen to Tita Bai tonight, our hearts may be turned into hearts of worship, hearts that have no room
for any form of bitterness and pride. <Start intro of Come Holy Spirit> Lord Jesus, our coming together
tonight is our sacrifice of praise. Allow us Lord to draw nearer to You, to feel You more, to love You
more. None of this is possible without Your goodness, Lord. And so tonight, Lord, we ask for Your Holy
Spirit to come upon us, anoint us. Holy spirit, empower Tita Bai, fill her, use her, as she teaches us on
how to lead a life of worship.
