Daily Prayers for July 7

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”

Quiet our troubled souls, O Lord : with peace that passes understanding.

Psalm 37:7 – 10

Be still before the Lord : and wait patiently for him.

Do not fret yourself over the one who prospers : the one who succeeds in evil schemes.

Refrain from anger, leave rage alone : do not fret yourself; it leads only to evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off : but those who wait upon the Lord shall possess the land.

Quiet our troubled souls, O Lord : with peace that passes understanding.

Judges 6:25 – 40 Acts 16:16 – 40

Quiet our troubled souls, O Lord : with peace that passes understanding.

Martin Luther King Jr. said this: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”

Prayers for Others

Our Father

Lord God, some of us still ask for signs to know where you call us to go and who you desire us to become. Be merciful and reveal yourself to us in manageable ways, just enough to see us through today. 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.
