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 100

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

100 A Psalm for giving thanks.

          Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!

          Serve the Lord with gladness!

Come into his presence with singing!

          Know that the Lord, he is God!

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

          Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

and his courts with praise!

Give thanks to him; bless his name!

          For the Lord is good;

his steadfast love endures forever,

and his faithfulness to all generations.

John 14:1-14

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

Lord’s Prayer

Daily Prayer

Lord we praise You because steadfast love endures forever and Your faithfulness to all generations, which You demonstrated most fully in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Because of His life, death and resurrection our sins have been forgiven and He has prepared a place for His followers in heaven. When we are confronted by the suffering and evil of this fallen world help us to take comfort in that knowledge as we await that day when we join Him and all who have passed before in faith. We ask this in His most holy Name, 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.
