The Lord Our God Is Holy

He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

he is exalted over all the peoples.

Holy is he!

Greeting
1 Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,
To Philemon our beloved fellow worker 2 and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon’s Love and Faith
4 I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, 6 and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ. 7 For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.
Lord’s Prayer
Daily Prayer
O Lord, You sit enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake and the people tremble for You are great and exalted. We pray that by Your grace through the blood of Christ You would absolve Your people from their offenses and deliver us from the bonds of our sins into Your bountiful goodness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son our Lord, amen.
Luther’s Morning prayer
I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
