Morning Prayer for June 6
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
He will rest in his love
Today’s takeaway: God did not love you because you were great, but simply because He chose to love you.
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you
We love him, because he first loved us.
You, … hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
His Son, … Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high
Prayer
O God, You did not set Your love on Your people because they were great, but simply because You loved them. That is how You love me. You loved me first, and You sent Your Son to be the sacrifice for my sins while I was still a sinner. You will rest in Your love over me. Let me live today in the quiet confidence of being loved. 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.
