DAILY PRAYER 126

Picture
Zion Nat. Park, Utah
Opening Prayer
“For you alone, O God, my soul waits in silence, from you comes my salvation.”
-Psalm 62:1

(silent reflection)

Prayer of the Bible
​
God gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.  Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
-Isaiah 40:29-31

(Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God)

Confession of Sin
“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.  After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.  Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
-Hosea 6: 1-3

(Time of silence for confession of sin)

The Words of Jesus
“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
-John 14:25-28

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

Prayers for Ourselves and Others  
Far be it from me that I should sin against You, O Lord, by ceasing to pray for others
-I Samuel 12:23

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

Closing Prayer
O Lord, all merciful: Light within me the fire of your Holy Spirit. Take away this heart of stone and give a heart of flesh and blood, a heart to love and adore you, a heart which may delight in you, love you and praise you, for Christ’s sake. Amen.
-Ambrose of Milan (340-397)
