Morning Prayer for July 30
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
Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Today’s takeaway: Set your heart on the things above, where Christ is, and seek His wisdom.
Get wisdom, get understanding
The wisdom that is from above
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
We are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
God, … hath quickened us together with Christ, … And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
They that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness
Prayer
Father, You raised me up with Christ, so help me seek the things above, where He is seated at Your right hand. The deep says wisdom is not in it, and the sea says it is not with me; true wisdom comes from above. Help me lay aside every weight today. Like the patriarchs, I am looking for a better country. Let me seek You, and seek righteousness and meekness. 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.
