Morning Prayer for May 8
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
It pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief
Today’s takeaway: Jesus chose His Father's will even when it meant the cross, and He did it for you.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
The Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth
Prayer
Father, in the garden Jesus prayed, Not My will, but Yours be done, and He drank the cup You gave Him. There is something in my life I would not have chosen. Teach me to pray the way He prayed. Because I am in Him, let me find my delight in Your will today, even where it costs me. 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.
