A Prayer Guide for Today, the Christian Sabbath
|
The
Call to Prayer
|
|
Search
for the LORD and his strength; continually seek his face.
|
|
The
Request for Presence
|
|
Hearken
to my voice, O LORD, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me. You speak
in my heart and say, “Seek my face.” Your face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not
your face from me, nor turn away your servant in displeasure.
|
|
The
Greeting
|
|
What
terror you inspire! who can stand before you when you are angry?
|
|
The
Refrain for the Morning Lessons
|
|
I
sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me out of all my terror.
|
|
A
Reading
|
| Through
towns and villages he went teaching, making his way to Jerusalem. Someone
said to him, ‘Sir, will there be only a few saved?’ He said to them, ‘Try
your hardest to enter by the narrow door, because, I tell you, many will try
to enter and will not succeed. Once the master of the house has got up and
locked the door, you may find yourself standing outside knocking on the door,
saying, “Lord, open to us,” but he will answer, “I do not know where you come
from.” Then you will start saying, “We once ate and drank in your company;
you taught in our streets,” but he will reply, “I do not know where you come
from. Away from me, all evil doers!” Then there will be weeping and grinding
of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in
the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrown out. And people from east and west,
from north and south, will come and sit down at the feast in the kingdom of
God. Look, there are those now last who will be first, and those now first
who will be last.’ |
|
Luke 13:22-30
|
|
The
Refrain
|
|
I
sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me out of all my terror.
|
|
The
Morning Psalm
|
|
I Did
Not Conceal My Guilt
|
|
While I
held my tongue, my bones withered away, because of my groaning all day long.
For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; my moisture was dried up as in
the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and did not conceal
my guilt. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” Then you
forgave me the guilt of my sin. Therefore all the faithful will make their
prayers to you in time of trouble;* when the great waters overflow, they
shall not reach them.
|
|
The
Refrain
|
|
I sought
the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me out of all my terror.
|
|
The Cry
|
|
Lord,
have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us.
|
|
The
Lord’s Prayer
|
|
Our
Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name. May your kingdom come, and
your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours are the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
|
|
The
Prayer Appointed for the Week
|
|
Grant
that I, Lord, may not be anxious about earthly things, but love things
heavenly; and even now, while I am placed among things that are passing away,
hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
|
|
The
Concluding Prayer
|
|
Lord
God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this
new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin,
nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of
your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
