Morning Prayer for August 9
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 art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
Today’s takeaway: God sees the sin in you clearly, yet in Christ He clothes you with His own beauty.
The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags
I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing
Ye are washed, … ye are sanctified, … ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
The king’s daughter is all glorious within
Perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us
These are they which … have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
A glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but … holy and without blemish.
Ye are complete in him
Prayer
Lord Jesus, left to myself I am sick from head to foot, and all my righteousness is like filthy rags. In my flesh there is nothing good. Yet You look at me and say I am all fair, with no spot. I am washed, sanctified, and justified in Your name. You have put Your own beauty on me, and I am complete in You. Let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon me 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.
