Daily Prayers for March 10

O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you

as the day rises to meet the sun.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Come, let us bow down and bend the knee : let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

Song “I Will Trust in the Lord”

I will call upon God : and the Lord will deliver me.

Psalm 55:22 – 24

Cast your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you : he will never let the righteous stumble.

For you will bring the bloodthirsty and deceitful : down to the pit of destruction, O God.

They shall not live out half their days : but I will put my trust in you.

I will call upon God : and the Lord will deliver me.

Genesis 48:8 – 22 Mark 4:21 – 34

I will call upon God : and the Lord will deliver me.

Teresa of Avila, a sixteenth-century Spanish mystic, said, “Let nothing disturb you, nothing dismay you. All things are passing, God never changes. Patient endurance attains all things. God alone suffices.”

Our Father

Lord, before the heat of the noonday comes, we are already feeling as though our lives are not full enough. Instill in us this morning the assurance that you are enough for us, God. Your love, your call, your work, is enough. Amen.

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you : wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness : protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing : at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing : once again into our doors.
