DAILY PRAYER 44

Opening Prayer
I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come?  My help comes from God, who made heaven and earth.”
-Psalm 121: 1-2

(silent reflection)

Prayer of the Bible
The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Shouts of joy and victory resound in the tents of the righteous: “The Lord’s right hand has done mighty things! The Lord’s right hand is lifted high; the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!” 
-Psalm 118:14-16

(Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God)

Confession of Sin
O most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for thy Name's sake.
-Orthodox prayer

(Time of silence for confession of sin)

The Words of Jesus
I can do nothing on my own.  As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.  If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.  There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true.
-John 5:30-32

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

Prayers for Ourselves and Others
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
-Acts 16:25

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

Closing Prayer”
​Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen."    
-John Chrysostom (349-407)
