Evening Prayer for December 15
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
God’s Word
Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
Today’s takeaway: As God's child, yield yourself to Him and be ready to work in His vineyard tomorrow.
Thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Reckon ye … yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Before you pray
What work has your Father given you to do tomorrow?
Prayer
Father, You say to me, Son, go work today in My vineyard. I am no longer a servant but a son and an heir. Help me count myself dead to sin and alive to You. Make me a vessel set apart for Your use, prepared for every good work. Let me abound in Your work. 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.
