Morning
Prayer
Psalm 18: 1 – 31
David exuberantly praises the Lord for saving him from
death at the hands of his enemies. The images used are like a volcanic eruption.
David is ecstatic with what he can do with God’s help. He rejoices utterly in
God, the only God: our God.
Leviticus 23: 22 – 38
This is a more details set of instructions about the
essential holy days and festivals and how to fast for the Day of Atonement.
John 9: 13 – 23
The Pharisees call the man who had previously been
blind before them to find out whether he had really been healed. They interview
the man’s parents. They asked how the healing occurred. The people know if they
proclaimed Jesus as messiah they will be put out of the synagogue.

Almighty
God nothing is beyond your power to change or heal. Help us today in 1000
little ways in our thoughts, words, deeds and contemplations of our hearts to
proclaim you Lord, God, Saviour and Messiah through Jesus Christ your Son our
Lord and the power of your Holy Spirit, Amen.

Evening
Prayer
Psalm 18: 32 – 38 (39 – 44) 45 – 52
David continues his great psalm of praise for
deliverance from enemies and as the warrior king he had to be describes his
supremacy in the battle. He is more subdued at the end, blessing God, extoling
God’s name, praising God for his steadfast love and care.
Exodus 19: 16 – 20: 17
God comes to Sinai as a great cloud and thunderstorm.
Moses is on the mountain and no-one is to come near. God instructs Moses to
bring Aaron on to the mountain. God tells Moses the Ten Commandments.
1 Corinthians 1: 10 – 19
Paul calls for unity in the community – he has been
told that there are divisions over who was baptised by whom. Paul is glad he
can be impartial. He says that Christ did not send him to baptise but to
proclaim the Gospel, and not with the skills of a convincing orator. Because
when we think about it, the message about the cross is useless to those who are
lost, but to those who are saved it restores us through the power of God.

Holy God
of restoration and hope, who restored and re-ignited a warrior king, restored a
nation from slavery and gave it the tools to establish just societies and
restored Paul and the early Christian communities; restore us this night.
Refresh and re-invigorate us so that in the morning we can awake with energy
and joy to work in this world to your praise and glory through Jesus Christ your
Son our Lord and the power of your Holy Spirit, Amen.
