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 77:5-11, 14-15

      I consider the days of old,

the years long ago.

          I said, “Let me remember my song in the night;

let me meditate in my heart.”

Then my spirit made a diligent search:

          “Will the Lord spurn forever,

and never again be favorable?

          Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

Are his promises at an end for all time?

          Has God forgotten to be gracious?

Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

    10      Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

    11      I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

14      You are the God who works wonders;

you have made known your might among the peoples.

    15      You with your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph.

John 6:60-71

The Words of Eternal Life

60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Do you take offense at this? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

Lord’s Prayer

Daily Prayer

Almighty and ever-living God, You fulfilled Your promise by sending the gift of the Holy Spirit to unite disciples of all nations in the cross and resurrection of Your Son. We pray that by the preaching of the Gospel spread this gift to the ends of the earth and especially in our nation and in our communities. We ask this in Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior, 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.
