After Pentecost | Wednesday 03 Jun
+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
Opening prayer:
O God,
the strength of all who put their trust in you:
Mercifully accept our prayers, and because,
through the weakness of our mortal nature,
we can do no good thing without you,
grant us the help of your grace to keep your commandments,
that we may please you in will and deed;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
“The Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything
and will remind you of everything I have told you.”

OT Reading: Job 39:26-40:5 (NLT)
39:26 “Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar
and spread its wings toward the south?
+ Is it at your command that the eagle rises
to the heights to make its nest?
+ It lives on the cliffs,
making its home on a distant, rocky crag.
+ From there it hunts its prey,
keeping watch with piercing eyes.
+ Its young gulp down blood.
Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”
40:1 Then the Lord said to Job,
+ “Do you still want to argue with the Almighty?
You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?”
Job Responds to the Lord
40:3 Then Job replied to the Lord,
+ “I am nothing—how could I ever find the answers?
I will cover my mouth with my hand.
+ I have said too much already.
I have nothing more to say.”

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Gracious God: Assist us with your Spirit, that your Holy Word may be written in our hearts to our everlasting comfort, to reform us, to renew us according to your own image, to build us up and edify us into the perfect dwelling place of your Christ, sanctifying and increasing in us all heavenly virtues; grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
O God, our heavenly Father: Pour out your Spirit on your Church, that we may fulfill Christ’s command to preach the Gospel to all people. Send forth laborers into your harvest; defend them in all dangers and temptations; and hasten the time when the fullness of the Gentiles shall be gathered in, and faithful Israel shall be saved; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
