Morning Prayer for August 24
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
I know their sorrows
Today’s takeaway: Jesus knows your sorrows from the inside, and He shares in every trouble you face.
A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief
Touched with the feeling of our infirmities
Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well
When Jesus … saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled
Jesus wept.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
He hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death
He knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path.
He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You know my sorrows. You were a man of sorrows. You grew tired on the road and sat by the well. You groaned in spirit at Lazarus's tomb and wept. You took our infirmities and carried our sicknesses. When my spirit is overwhelmed today, You know my path. In all my affliction You are afflicted. Walk with me through this day. 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.
