for my hope is from you.
Morning
Invitatory Psalm 67
God, be gracious to us and bless us
and make your face to shine upon us,
that your way may be known upon earth,
your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you.
The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, has blessed us.
May God continue to bless us;
let all the ends of the earth revere you.
Psalms 81, 82, 85
Daily Lectionary Reading, Psalm 62:5-12
5 Oh, I must find rest in God only because my hope comes from him! 6 Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I will not be shaken. 7 My deliverance and glory depend on God. God is my strong rock. My refuge is in God. 8 All you people: Trust in him at all times! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge! Selah 9 Human beings are nothing but a breath. Human beings are nothing but lies. They don’t even register on a scale; taken all together they are lighter than a breath! 10 Don’t trust in violence; don’t set false hopes in robbery. When wealth bears fruit, don’t set your heart on it. 11 God has spoken one thing— make it two things— that I myself have heard: that strength belongs to God, 12 and faithful love comes from you, my Lord— and that you will repay everyone according to their deeds. [Common English Bible]
Prayer for Today: God of unfailing love, with confidence we gather to worship you;
to praise your holy name; to express to you our trust and confidence
in your promise of security and refuge within your loving presence.
Within the safety of your love, we honour you for the commitment you
have made to your people, and pray that your people will respond to
that love with trust and an acceptance of God’s merciful forgiveness.
If only all your people showed the same commitment to you, O God,
as you show towards them – they would know a that life lived within
God’s presence is one that is rich beyond our understanding, and with
a depth of inner peace that can only be hoped for and dreamed about.
O God, our Rock and our Redeemer, you are our stronghold against
the forces within human life that confront us each day; and which try
to shake our faith and resolve; so we look to you in confidence and trust.
We pour out our hearts to you O God, because our God is there waiting
to lovingly respond to our needs, and quietly waits to offer us love and
acceptance, and a secure road to travel that will lead us to our home in God.
Thanks be to God - our Rock, our Redeemer and our Refuge – always. Amen.
