Morning Prayer for December 23
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
Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me
Today’s takeaway: Take hold of God's strength and make peace with Him through Christ.
I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil
There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
In Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace
It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself
Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, … that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength
Prayer
LORD, You invite me to take hold of Your strength and make peace with You. Your thoughts toward me are thoughts of peace. There is no peace for the wicked, but in Christ I who was far off have been brought near. He made peace through the blood of His cross. If I confess my sins, You are faithful to forgive. I will trust in You forever, for in You is everlasting strength. 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.
