Morning Prayer for October 31
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
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Today’s takeaway: God's work is done not by human might but by His Spirit, and the battle is His.
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
My spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
The battle is not your’s, but God’s.
The LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S
Prayer
LORD of hosts, it is not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit. I tend to rely on my own effort and planning. You choose the weak so that no one can boast. Today I have a task that feels bigger than me. The battle is not mine but Yours. Let me do my part and trust You with the rest. 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.
