I am not feeling prepared at all.

Psalm 63: 1-5
O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the santuary
and beheld your power and your glory
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

Isaiah 61: 1, 3
The spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
