+ MORNING +

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

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 9:3-14

      When my enemies turn back,

they stumble and perish before your presence.

          For you have maintained my just cause;

you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

          You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;

you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

          The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;

their cities you rooted out;

the very memory of them has perished.

          But the Lord sits enthroned forever;

he has established his throne for justice,

          and he judges the world with righteousness;

he judges the peoples with uprightness.

          The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

    10      And those who know your name put their trust in you,

for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

    11      Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!

Tell among the peoples his deeds!

    12      For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;

he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

    13      Be gracious to me, O Lord!

See my affliction from those who hate me,

O you who lift me up from the gates of death,

    14      that I may recount all your praises,

that in the gates of the daughter of Zion

I may rejoice in your salvation.

John 6:43-59

43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.

Lord’s Prayer

Daily Prayer

Lord, You sit enthroned forever, You are a stronghold for the oppressed and in times of trouble. We thank You for all of the blessings You graciously give even before we ask. As this summer begins we pray that You would continue to watch over our nation and people as they travel. We thank You for the advances we have made against the virus and ask for Your continued grace to finally put an end to its course that our lives may return to what they were before it came, in Jesus 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.
