+ 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 86:11-17
Psa 86:11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
that I may walk in your truth;
unite my heart to fear your name.
Psa 86:12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God,
with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.
Psa 86:13 For great is your steadfast love toward me;
you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
Psa 86:14 O God, insolent men have risen up against me;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
and they do not set you before them.
Psa 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
Psa 86:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;
give your strength to your servant,
and save the son of your maidservant.
Psa 86:17 Show me a sign of your favor,
that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
