A Prayer Before Preaching

My Lord,
I would be the first to confess that I have no idea what I’m doing here.
I only know that you have ordained this moment, this place, and somehow this vessel to say something to your people.
These racing thoughts, these fears, these anxieties:
Still them,
So that I may focus and speak no more and no less
than what you want to say.
Don’t let me be in your way.
