+ DAILY PRAYER +
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 94:8-14
Psa 94:8 Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
Psa 94:9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
Psa 94:10 He who disciplines the nations,
does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge—
Psa 94:11 the LORD—knows the thoughts of man,
that they are but a breath.
Psa 94:12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD,
and whom you teach out of your law,
Psa 94:13 to give him rest from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
Psa 94:14 For the LORD will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;

Role of Wisdom in Creation and Society
19 Yahweh in wisdom founded the earth;
he established the heavens in understanding.
20 With his knowledge, depths broke open,
and clouds dropped dew.
21 My child, may they not escape from your ?sight?;
may you keep sound wisdom and prudence.
22 They shall be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk in the confidence of your ways,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you sit down, you will not panic,
and if you lie down, then your sleep shall be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden panic,
or the storm of wickedness that will come.
26 Yahweh will be ?your confidence?
and guard your foot from capture.
27 Do not withhold good from its owner
when it is in the power of your hand to do.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
“Go and return and tomorrow I will give it,”
?when it is with you?.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor
who dwells in confidence beside you.
30 Do not quarrel with anyone without cause,
when he did not do you harm.
31 Do not envy a man of violence,
and do not choose any of his ways,
32 for he who is perverse is an abomination of Yahweh,
but those who are upright are his confidence.
33 The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked,
and the abode of the righteous ones he blesses.
34 With those who scorn, he is scornful,
but to those who are humble, he gives favor.
35 They will inherit the honor of the wise,
but stubborn fools, disgrace.
Lord’s Prayer
Daily Prayer
Lord Jesus, the two swords of the disciples were enough to show themselves as sinners, fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah that You would be numbered with transgressors. Yet You promised that they would eat and drink with You at Your table in Your kingdom, judging the twelve tribes of Israel Help us to remember that You invite transgressors to Your Holy Supper, where we are welcomed to receive the forgiveness of all our sins; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Concluding Prayer
Heavenly Father, send Your Holy Spirit into our hearts to direct and rule us to do Your will, to comfort us in all our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into all truth; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
