Morning Prayer for January 12
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 only wise God our Saviour
Today’s takeaway: Christ is God's wisdom for you, and God gives wisdom freely to anyone who asks.
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption
Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory
The mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Prayer
O God, my only wise Savior, You made Christ to be my wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. I cannot search You out, and I do not have to. When I lack wisdom today, I will ask, and You will give generously without scolding me. Give me the wisdom from above: pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy. 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.
