MORNING PRAYER AND SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
— Job 22:27 (BSB)
QUOTE: Waiting in prayer is a disciplined refusal to act before God acts.
— Eugene Peterson
PRAYER: O God, as the morning has risen upon us, may the Sun of righteousness also rise upon us. Chase away the shadows of darkness from us, and may we be light in the Lord. Enable us to put off all the works of darkness, whatever belongs to the old evil nature, and to put on the garments of light, doing the works of the day and not of the night. May our light shine before men, that seeing us, they may glorify You.
We desire to grow in grace. As the deer pants after the water-brooks, so our souls long after You. Our souls thirst for God, for the living God. Nothing else will satisfy them. This world has in it nothing to meet the needs of our immortal spiritual natures. Let us not try to feed ourselves on that which is not bread — but may we learn to bring all our needs to You who alone can satisfy them.
We come to You to begin the day — that we may have Your blessing upon it. Nothing is complete without You. As the flowers need the dew and the sunshine to make them fragrant — so do our lives need Your blessing to make them truly happy. Lay Your hand upon our heads as we bow before You. Direct our feet in all the day’s paths. We want to carry out Your plan, not our own. Order our steps in Your word. Give us our work as we go on. Help us to be truthful, honest, and diligent in all our words and conduct. Prosper us in all our undertakings, unless they are wrong. Defeat whatever we undertake that is not agreeable to Your will.
We go out now in our Savior’s name, and we ask You to take us and use us to do Your will and to bless others. We ask all for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
EVENING PRAYER AND SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
SCRIPTURE: I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
— John 17:15 (BSB)
QUOTE: The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
— Oswald Chambers
QUOTE: We will praise You, O God, with our whole heart. We will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your loving kindness and for Your truth — for You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
In the day when we cried to You, and You answered us. We thank You for Your love, which never fails; and for Your grace, which is given for every moment of need. Though You are high — yet You have respect unto the lowly. Your eyes see even the least of Your redeemed children. The youngest child is watched over by You. You hear the cry of the birds in their hunger. We rejoice to think of the care You have for every child of Your own, and how secure we are in the keeping of Your love. You have been, and You are, our dwelling-place.
Though we walk in the midst of trouble, You will protect us. You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of the Evil One, who seeks our destruction. Forsake not the work of Your own hands. Allow us not to fall away into darkness, and into the pains of eternal death — but deliver us, we beseech You, from all sin, and save us to eternal life.
May this evening be one of preparation for the coming Sunday. Grant us rest that we may be ready for the day’s duties and worship. Then turn our thoughts and affections toward Sunday worship, that we may be in the Spirit on the Lord’s day. Give holy thoughts to all who are preparing to speak the words of life to Your people. Warm their hearts with Your love, and hold them near to You, that they may come from the very secret of Your presence to stand and speak for You before men. We ask all in the name of our Redeemer. Amen.
