Praying from 1 Corinthians 11:27. Themes: Sin, Communion, Guilt

Dear Lord, as we partake in the bread and cup, we pray that we do so in a manner worthy of your sacrifice. May we approach with reverence and humility, recognizing the significance of your body and blood. Help us to examine ourselves and confess any sins that may hinder our communion with you. May we never take this holy act lightly, but always remember the price you paid for our salvation. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
