Morning Prayer for July 31
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
Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Today’s takeaway: Endure hardship like a good soldier, because your Captain suffered first and will strengthen you.
I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
It became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God
We do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You are the Captain of my salvation, made perfect through sufferings. Make me a good soldier today, able to endure hardship. We enter the kingdom through much tribulation. My battle is not against flesh and blood, and my weapons are not of the flesh, but mighty through God. After I have suffered a while, You will make me perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle me. 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.
