DAILY PRAYER 114

Donut Falls, Utah
Opening Prayer
When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself.  Enter the silence.  Bow in prayer.  Don’t ask questions:  Wait for hope to appear
-Lamentations 3:28-29 The Message

(silent reflection)

Prayer of the Bible
Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.  Give me not up to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe out violence.  I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living  Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
-Pslam 27: 11-14

(Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God)

Confession of Sin
Fountain of grace, rich, full and free,
What need I, that is not in Thee?
Full pardon, strength to meet the day,
And peace which none can take away
-James Edmeston (1791-1867)

(Time of silence for confession of sin)

The Words of Jesus
 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus' side, so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.  So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, “Lord, who is it?”  Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” 
-John 13:23-27

(Think deeply on these life-giving words of Jesus)

Prayers for Ourselves and Others  
Here’s what I'm saying: Ask and you'll get; Seek and you'll find; Knock and the door will open. Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need
-Luke 11:9-10

(Time to bring before God our own needs and the needs of others)

Closing Prayer
Lord, be with us this day, within us to purify us; above us to draw us up; beneath us to sustain us; before us to lead us; behind us to restrain us; around us to protect us.
-Patrick of Ireland (389-461)
