Morning Prayer for September 27
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
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time
Today’s takeaway: Humble yourself under God's hand, and let Him turn you back to Himself.
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Prayer
O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter. We are all the work of Your hand. Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to You. Like Ephraim, I have been a stubborn calf, and You corrected me. Trouble does not spring from the dust; You have a purpose in it. I humble myself under Your mighty hand, trusting You to lift me up in due time. 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.
