Morning Prayer for August 26
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
Thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
Today’s takeaway: Only in Christ can you come near a holy God and find grace in time of need.
Holiness, without which no man … see the Lord
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags
I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.
This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy.
Holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Seeing … that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us
Come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Prayer
Holy God, the high priest wore a gold plate engraved Holiness to the LORD. Without holiness no one will see You, and my own righteousness is like filthy rags. But Jesus sanctified Himself for my sake, so that I might be made holy through the truth. I have a great High Priest who has gone into the heavens. Through Him I come boldly for grace today. 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.
