Evening prayer · August 7
Evening Prayer for August 7
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
God’s Word
What think ye of Christ?
Today’s takeaway: What you think of Christ matters most, and to those who believe He is precious.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.
He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Unto you … which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner
Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ
Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee.
Before you pray
What do you think of Christ tonight?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You asked, What think you of Christ? Tonight I answer: You are the King of glory and the King of kings. To those who believe, You are precious. To me You are the power and wisdom of God. I count everything loss compared with knowing You. Lord, You know that I love You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Pray as Jesus taught us
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Amen.
Blessing
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
