Evening Prayer for September 14
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
God’s Word
Ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son
Today’s takeaway: You have been called into fellowship with Jesus, sharing His joy and His comfort.
He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God
Be ye … followers of God, as dear children
If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ
The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame
These things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Before you pray
How did you show the family likeness of God today?
Prayer
Father, what manner of love You have given me, that I should be called Your child. You called me into the fellowship of Your Son, who received honor and glory from You. Help me be a follower of You, as a dear child. Jesus wanted His joy to be fulfilled in me. As His sufferings abound in me, let His comfort abound too. 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.
