Morning prayer

Day 15 · Walking humbly with you

Good morning. Before your day begins, take a pause. Breathe slowly and remember that God is here with you.

Praise

⁴The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. ⁵Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, ⁶Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! ⁷He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; ⁸That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

The Word

Micah 6:8

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Prayer

Walking humbly with you

Holy God, you have shown me what is good and what you require of me. Today I want to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with you. Free me from the pride that makes me feel superior to others or always in the right. Help me admit my mistakes without excuses and value the gifts of others. Let me not seek the first place, but serve wherever I am needed. When I am praised, may I give the praise back to you; when I am corrected, may I listen with humility. I want to walk at your side all this day. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Blessing

Numbers 6:24-26

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

May God be with you today.
