Morning Prayer for April 14
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
God’s Word
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Today’s takeaway: Nothing in this world is sweeter than knowing and loving Jesus.
How precious … are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Thy love is better than wine.
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
Thou art fairer than the children of men
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend
Prayer
O God, how precious are Your thoughts toward me. If I tried to count them, they would outnumber the sand. Your words are sweeter than honey, and Your love is better than wine. Whom have I in heaven but You? There is nothing on earth I desire besides You. Jesus is altogether lovely. Satisfy my soul with You today, and let my mouth praise You with joy. 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
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
