Good Morning Jesus

Opening Sentance

The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory, and will rejoice over you with gladness. . . . .Zephaniah 3:17

God orders all things well:
O come let us worship.

Psalm 21

1 In your strength the king rejoices, O Lord,
    and in your help how greatly he exults!
2 You have given him his heart’s desire,
    and have not withheld the request of his lips.Selah
3 For you meet him with rich blessings;
    you set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life; you gave it to him—
    length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great through your help;
    splendour and majesty you bestow on him.
6 You bestow on him blessings for ever;
    you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord,
    and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Your hand will find out all your enemies;
    your right hand will find out those who hate you.
9 You will make them like a fiery furnace
    when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
    and fire will consume them.
10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth,
    and their children from among humankind.
11 If they plan evil against you,
    if they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
12 For you will put them to flight;
    you will aim at their faces with your bows.

13 Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
    We will sing and praise your power.

The Armour of God

Almighty God,
grant us your wisdom and favour,
give us the grace to cast off the works of darkness
and put on the full armour of God,
now in the time of this mortal life,
Place on us the belt of truth, because you are the way,
    and the truth and the life,
the breastplate of righteousness,
    because we have no righteousness of our own,
    but you became our righteousness on the cross.
Place on us shoes of the Gospel of peace
    that we miss no opportunity to share your love with others.
Put on us the shield of faith,
    that the fiery darts of the enemy do not harm us in any way.
Put on us the helmet of salvation,
    that our minds be protected and renewed daily in You.
Put on us the sword of the Spirit,
    which is the word of God;
    and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
    the Love of God
    and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with us all for ever more.
Amen.
