Morning Prayer for October 29
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 is altogether lovely.
Today’s takeaway: Jesus is altogether lovely, and knowing Him is worth more than anything else.
My meditation of him shall be sweet
My beloved is … the chiefest among ten thousand.
A chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips
God … hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name
It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory
I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith
Prayer
Lord Jesus, You are altogether lovely, the chief among ten thousand. It is easy for me to love Your gifts more than You. This morning I want to love You for Yourself. I count all things loss for the excellence of knowing You. Let me enjoy Your presence today in the middle of ordinary work. 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.
