Morning Prayer for May 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
Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep
Today’s takeaway: Jesus is your Shepherd, who knows you by name and laid down His life for you.
The chief Shepherd
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick
Ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Prayer
Good Shepherd, You laid down Your life for the sheep, and You know me by name. Like a sheep, I have gone astray and turned to my own way, but You sought me and brought me back. Lead me today beside still waters and in paths of righteousness. Make me lie down in green pastures when I am tempted to rush. I will listen for Your voice and follow You. 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.
