Morning Prayer for September 18
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
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Today’s takeaway: Ask God to open your eyes to the wonders of His Word.
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures
It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
We have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Prayer
Father, open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things in Your word. Jesus opened His disciples' understanding so they could understand the Scriptures; do that for me. You have given me not the spirit of the world but Your Spirit, so I can know what You have freely given. How precious are Your thoughts to me. Oh, the depth of Your wisdom and knowledge. 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.
