Morning Prayer for September 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
Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
Today’s takeaway: Do not let the world squeeze you into its mold, but be changed by God.
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil
Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
In time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience
Ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, … as the truth is in Jesus
Prayer
Father, do not let me be conformed to this world, but transform me by the renewing of my mind. Keep me from following the crowd to do evil. Friendship with the world is enmity with You. The world is passing away, but whoever does Your will abides forever. I once walked according to the course of this world, but that is not how I learned Christ. 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.
