Daily Prayer, Monday, March 21

Morning

Faithful God of love,
you blessed us with your servant Son
so that we might know how to serve your people
with justice and with mercy.
We gather the needs of ourselves and others,
and offer them to you in faith and love,
seeking to be strengthened by them.
(RCL Prayers, Fortress Press.)

Those who drink of the water that I will give them will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life (John 4:14-15).

O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! (Psalm 95:1)
