Opening Sentance

O Lord my God, I call for help by day, and I cry out to you by night.. . . .Psalm 88:1.

Christ, though tempted like us, was without sin:.
O come, let us worship.

Psalm 20:1-5

1 The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
    The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary,
    and give you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your offerings,
    and regard with favour your burnt sacrifices.Selah

4 May he grant you your heart’s desire,
    and fulfil all your plans.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory,
    and in the name of our God set up our banners.
May the Lord fulfil all your petitions.

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.
