Evening Prayer for October 27
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
God’s Word
He whom thou blessest is blessed
Today’s takeaway: God's blessings rest on the humble, the merciful, the pure, and those who hear His Word.
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven
Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Before you pray
Which beatitude describes what you need most tonight?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, whom You bless is blessed. You said the poor in spirit, the mourners, the meek, and the merciful are blessed. Tonight I look at my day through those words. Where I was proud, harsh, or unmerciful, forgive me. Make my life look more like the Beatitudes tomorrow. 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.
