Morning Reading: Psalm 65 (NLT)

What mighty praise, O God, belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, for you answer our prayers. All of us must come to you. Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all. What joy for those you choose to bring near, those who live in your holy courts. What festivities await us inside your holy Temple.

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength. You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations. Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy.

You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so. You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops. You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy. The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are carpeted with grain. They all shout and sing for joy!

Morning Prayer

O Lord our God: You give and take away – blessed be your name! Accept our worship, in the good times and the bad, through Jesus Christ our Savior…

+ Fill us with quiet confidence and praise during our present trials…
+ Remind us again of your mercy and the freedom we have in redemption…
+ Give us grateful hearts for your loving-kindness and grace…

O Lord our God: You rule the world in your mighty power. Hear our prayers for all those who have lost loved one’s through terror and war. And exercise your mighty power now over the winds and the waves threatening our Eastern shoreline, that we might look back on this year marveling on the wonders your have shown us. I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Reflection & Prayer

Proverbs 24:12 (NLT) – Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.” For God understands all hearts, and he sees you. He who guards your soul knows you knew. He will repay all people as their actions deserve.

Sovereign God: you understand my heart; you guard my soul. May your kingdom come, your will be done – in me.

+ Help me to choose my friends wisely, that I may stay out of trouble.
+ Give me your wisdom and strength, that I may live sensibly under pressure.
+ Surround me with wise advisors, that I may live successfully in the face of disaster.
+ Give me humility and grace, that I may not take pleasure in the failures of my foes.
+ Help me to decide fairly between right and wrong, innocence and guilt.
+ Fill me with your Spirit, that I may speak the truth, kindly and gently.
+ Remove the impurities in my heart, that you may reign supreme within me.
+ Make me a reliable messenger of your comfort, mercy, and grace.
+ Give me the grace to respond to my enemies with kindness and mercy.

Sovereign God: Give me the patience and self-control that I need to be a faithful witness to Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Opening Sentence

One thing I have asked of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to behold the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.

Reading: Psalm 113:3 (NLT)

Everywhere—from east to west—praise the name of the Lord.

Reading: 2 Kings 2:11-14 (NLT)

As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire appeared, drawn by horses of fire. It drove between the two men, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” And as they disappeared from sight, Elisha tore his clothes in distress.

Elisha picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen when he was taken up. Then Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River. He struck the water with Elijah’s cloak and cried out, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” Then the river divided, and Elisha went across.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Prayer

Then I heard a voice in heaven saying, ‘Whom shall I send? and who will go for us? Then said I, ‘Here I am; send me.’

+ Lord, see what evil the prince of this world is devising. Let the wind of Your Spirit blow and reverse the works of darkness: and Your fire will cover the earth.
+ Deliver me, Lord from every evil and grant me Your peace. In Your mercy, Lord, keep me free from sin.
+ I pray the protection of Christ to clothe me, Christ to enfold me, to surround me and guard me this day and every day.

Protect me from all anxiety as I wait in joyful hope for the coming of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Let Your Kingdom come, Lord, in me. Amen.
