Morning Prayer

I give thanks unto You, Adonai,
that, in mercy,
You have restored my soul within me.
Endless is Your compassion;
great is Your faithfulness.
I thank You, Adonai,
for the rest You have given me through the night
and for the breath that renews my body and spirit.
Amen.

Opening Sentance

You, O God, are my shield and defence, you preserve those who are true of heart. . . . .Psalm 7:10.

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

Psalm 75

1 We give thanks to you, O God;
    we give thanks; your name is near.
People tell of your wondrous deeds.

2 At the set time that I appoint
    I will judge with equity.
3 When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants,
    it is I who keep its pillars steady.Selah
4 I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast’,
    and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
5 do not lift up your horn on high,
    or speak with insolent neck.’

6 For not from the east or from the west
    and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
7 but it is God who executes judgement,
    putting down one and lifting up another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup
    with foaming wine, well mixed;
he will pour a draught from it,
    and all the wicked of the earth
    shall drain it down to the dregs.
9 But I will rejoice for ever;
    I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
    but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Morning Prayer

Heavenly Father,
I have been so wishy-washy
when it comes to taking hold of Your promises
and making them mine.
But today,
I’m putting my foot down!
I will not allow my human reason
to talk me out of my spiritual inheritance.
I will set my foot down on every promise
that You have given me today.
I’m going in! In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
