O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

ReplyDelete8 To you, Lord, I called;
Deleteto the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;
Lord, be my help.”
-Psalm 30:8-10
Father, I want to be counted as one who trust in you, who praises you, who wants you more than I want things you can do for me. Holy, holy, holy is my Lord God Almighty. Explode your love within me Abba. Amen
ReplyDeleteThank you for your mercy and forgiveness. You make all things right. Take from us the hurts that continue to hold us in captivity and torture our spirit, souls and bodies. Our secrets, even those we hide from ourselves. Lord cleanse us, free us. Keep the enemy far from us. You are our only hope and we praise you, because we know you love us in spite of our stains.
ReplyDeleteOur Father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For yours is
The kingdom and
The power and
The glory
Forever and ever
Amen

DeleteMorning
His mercy is on those who fear Him.
Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
If you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear. § The Lord is near to all who call upon Him … in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.
“Because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the Lord … and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the Lord. § On this one will I look: on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word. § The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Luke 1:50; Ps. 31:19–20; 1 Peter 1:17;
Ps. 145:18–19; 2 Kings 22:19; Isa. 66:2; Ps. 34:18
Father, Son, Spirit - you love and reign forever! Hallelujah! Grant me mercy that I not lose sight of what is eternal - and more importantly WHO is eternal. Fix my eyes on you, Jesus!
ReplyDeleteMore mercy Lord so we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

ReplyDeleteThe protector of all who trust in you. What a promise, Lord. Tangible mercy. Shower me in your mercies. Thank you that they are new each morning.
ReplyDelete“But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”
