In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice;

in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for You and watch.

My mouth is filled with Your praise,

and with Your glory all the day.

O Lord, open my lips,

and my mouth will declare Your praise.

Psalm 119:1-8

Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

Aleph

119  Blessed are those whose way is blameless,

who walk in the law of the Lord!

          Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,

who seek him with their whole heart,

          who also do no wrong,

but walk in his ways!

          You have commanded your precepts

to be kept diligently.

          Oh that my ways may be steadfast

in keeping your statutes!

          Then I shall not be put to shame,

having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.

          I will praise you with an upright heart,

when I learn your righteous rules.

          I will keep your statutes;

do not utterly forsake me!

John 17:1-11

The High Priestly Prayer

17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.

Lord’s Prayer

Daily Prayer

O heavenly Father, blessed are those who keep Your testimonies and who seek You with their whole heart. By Your gifts alone do Your faithful people render true loving service. Help us to live steadfastly by Your promises throughout our lives that we may always look forward to receiving the crown of life You promise to those who finish their course in faith. We ask this in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, 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.
