DAILY PRAYER 36

Picture
'Journey to Chelmno' Gemund, Germany
Opening Prayer
“You are my portion, Lord”, says my soul; Therefore I will wait for You.  You are good to those who wait for You, to the soul who seeks You.  It is good to hope silently for Your salvation
-Lamentations 3:24-26

(Silent reflection)

Prayer of the Bible
‘When I look at the heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and the stars that you have made; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, children of the earth that you care for them?  Yet you have created us a little lower than the angels, and crowned us with glory and honor.’
-Psalm 8:3-5

(Free expression of praise and thanksgiving to God)

Confession of Sin
Lord Jesus, I bring my sin, and the guilt and destructive behavior it has caused, to you on the cross. Thank you Lord! On the cross you made provision for my guilt to be removed, my wounds to be healed, and the power of sin in my behavior to be broken. Lead me now into the faith, expressed by obedience, which enables me to access this provision of your grace. 
-George Miley (1940- )

(Time of silence for confession of sin)

The Words of Jesus
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.  Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’?  Look I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.  Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together
-John 4:34-36

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

Prayers for Ourselves and Others
O Lord, hear my prayer; listen to the voice of my supplications.  In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for you will answer me
-Psalm 86: 6-7

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

Closing Prayer
May Your favor, O Lord our God, rest upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us—Yes, confirm the work of our hands
-Psalm 90:17
