Morning Prayer for May 11
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
Awake to righteousness, and sin not
Today’s takeaway: Wake up to what matters, put away what is dark, and live ready for Jesus.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: … Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit
Lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Prayer
Lord, wake me up to righteousness this morning. It is high time to wake from sleep, because my salvation is nearer than when I first believed. I am a child of the day, so do not let me sleep spiritually as others do. Help me put away what You have shown me is wrong and receive Your word with meekness. Let me abide in Christ, so I will not be ashamed when He appears. 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.
