Invocations: A Word To The Heart

A Word to the Heart

Permit us, Lord, to behold again the light of Thy countenance. May our glad spirits approach again to the Throne of Grace, receiving grace from the Throne enabling us so to do. Oh that Thou wouldst have a word with our heart! May the truth be mighty; may it pierce into the conscience, may it reach the inner man. May those who are born again, and those who are afar off, receive some good thing. Vain is the help of man. The preacher depends on nothing of his own, but behold, here he is at Thy feet. Speak through Thy servant to this great assembly, and let not a word fall to the ground; neither may there be a deaf ear nor a hard heart. God Almighty, glorify Thy Son Jesus by Thy Holy Spirit. We ask it for His sake. Amen.
