ACFW Conference Prayer – For Brandilyn Collins as she emcees
Psalm 66:16–Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
Dear Father, We come with thankful hearts for Brandilyn’s willingness to use her talent to emcee the conference. In these days leading up to the event, bless her with good health so her voice and body will be strong for the task. Grant her peace with the family and work she leaves at home so she may focus on this assignment. Finally, Father, calm her nerves so she may calm the nerves of others. In Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.

The emcee surely needs our prayers;
she will do what I cannot,
when she stands before the crowd and dares
her nerves to keep her spot.
The sea of faces writhes and moans,
a living thing made up of souls
that watch and judge (you’re so alone!)
your work; each sigh, a dim bell tolls.
But the public beast can be cajoled
to listen, laugh, and thus attend
the meaning in which heart’s enrolled
by God’s pastoral river-bend.
I pray for thee, dear brave emcee,
and hey – better you than me.
Amen to that!
