Morning Prayer for August 7
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
The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name
Today’s takeaway: Ask your heavenly Father for His Holy Spirit, because He gladly gives to those who ask.
If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
If ye … being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Ye have not, because ye ask not.
When … the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
They rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
Prayer
Father, if I, being evil, know how to give good gifts to my children, how much more will You give the Holy Spirit to those who ask You. So I ask this morning. Jesus told the woman at the well that if she knew the gift of God, she would ask. I often have not because I ask not. Send Your Spirit to guide me into all truth and to glorify Christ in me. 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.
