Morning
Prayer
Psalm 91
This psalm tells of the protection of God for those
who are faithful “You who live in the shelter of the Most High”.
2 Corinthians 10: 1 – 7
Paul is facing opposition in Corinth and is called
bold when he is away and meek when he is there. He claims the meekness and assumes divine weaponry against critics of the church. Arguments will be contested, thoughts made captive but only to obey Christ.

God of
majesty and grace, you shelter us, you stand by us and you give us the tools we
need to proclaim your work and salvation. Help us to be bold and meek in the
right measure so that we win hearts and minds that wish to be faithful to you
through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Evening
Prayer
Exodus 24: 1 – 11
This section of Exodus is a detailed description of
the covenant ratification ceremony with Moses, God and the 12 tribal groups of Israel.
Psalm 51: 1 – 17
This is a psalm of penitence and has the words, “Lord, open my lips and my mouth will declare
your praise”.
Matthew 26: 1 – 35
In this section, Jesus tells the disciples that he
will be crucified; the chief priests and the elders conspire to kill Jesus; a
woman anoints Jesus with costly ointment from an alabaster jar; Jesus
reinforces that he will soon be gone, and this act prepares him for burial;
Judas asks how much he will get for betraying Jesus – 30 pieces of silver; the
last Supper, and the prediction that the disciples will desert. Finally, here
is Peter’s defence and the agreement of all the disciples that they too would
not desert.
