Morning Prayer for June 26
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
Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, … and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, … And God granted him that which he requested.
Today’s takeaway: Ask God to bless you and keep you from evil, as Jabez did.
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.
How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Prayer
LORD, like Jabez I ask You to bless me indeed and keep me from evil, so that it does not grieve me. Your blessing makes rich and adds no sorrow with it. When You give quietness, who can make trouble? Jesus did not pray for You to take us out of the world, but to keep us from the evil one. I ask, I seek, and I knock this morning. 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.
