PRAYER

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 in life may please You

For into Your hands I commit 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

SCRIPTURE

This Week's Memory Verse - Hebrews 4:12

"The Word of God is living and active sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."


I always learn scripture better when I can put music to it. If that sounds like you, too, you can use this music video to help you remember this verse about God's word, the Bible and its use for us today!

CLOSING PRAYER

Now, before I run to play, let me not forget to pray

To God who kept me through the night and woke me with the morning light

Help me, Lord, to love Thee more than I have ever loved before

In my work and in my play, be Thou with me through the day

Amen
