Morning Prayer for December 20
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
He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love
Today’s takeaway: God chose you to be holy, and He is shaping you to be like His Son.
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you … to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
Prayer
Father, You chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy and without blame before You in love. You chose me for salvation through the sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. You predestined me to be conformed to the image of Your Son. You have not called me to uncleanness, but to holiness. Give me a new heart 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.
