Morning Prayer for June 19
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
Holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord
Today’s takeaway: God calls you to be holy, and in Christ He is making you new.
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth
There is no spot in thee.
Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear
Put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And … put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should … holy and without blame before him in love
Prayer
Holy Father, without holiness no one will see You, and unless I am born again I cannot see Your kingdom. You chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before You in love. Help me put off the old self today, with its deceitful desires, and put on the new self, created after You in righteousness and true holiness. 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.
