Prayer based on Matthew 22:12. Themes: Judgment, Accountability, Speechlessness.

Dear Lord, as I come before you today, I pray that you would clothe me in your righteousness. May I never be found lacking in the garments of your grace and mercy. Help me to always be prepared for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and to never be caught off guard. May my heart be pure and my spirit be ready to receive all that you have for me. And if ever I am found wanting, may I be quick to repent and turn back to you. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
