Psalm 118:19-25
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that you have answered me
and have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

O Lord, we pray, give us success!
John 41-8
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria
4 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. 4 And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)
Lord’s Prayer
Daily Prayer
Lord, we thanks to You that You have opened the gates of righteousness to us through Your Son that we enter through faith. We give thanks for the tremendous progress that we have been able to make over the past year in the face of the pandemic through the skills and abilities that You have given our scientists and medical professionals. As our state now begins to open more fully continue to guide and direct the decisions and policies that are made for the benefit of all and protect us as we resume more personal interaction 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.
