1 Samuel 3
God of Truth, speak to Your servants through Your holy Word. Teach Your church to hear Your voice in the sacred Scriptures. Help us to listen and obey as You correct and encourage us. Though Your Word may warn us sternly, it is the truth, and we must hear what You are saying to us. We will listen to Your Word, O Lord. There is no other way of life for us but the one way that You have provided for us in Your Son Jesus. You have revealed Yourself to us in Him.
Psalm 65
Glorious God, You should receive our praise all day long. We come to You now, for You have drawn us into Your house, and we see Your goodness and Your righteousness. You have created the land and the seas. You govern even the spheres in the sky. You bless us with great fruitfulness. There is a joy everywhere that can be seen and heard throughout the world. We will magnify Your Name forever, O Lord.
John 21
Father God, Your Son has revealed Himself to us through His Word and Spirit, and also in the breaking of bread together as Your church worships You through our Redeemer. Your Son is full of blessing for us. He continues to serve Your church with unexpected joys according to Your great plan. We feast together at Your table with confidence in Him. You use us as fishers of men according to Your Word. You know our defiling sin, and You restore us again with forgiveness and a call to serve. We do love You. We will feed Your sheep. You know all things, and our lives are in Your hands. If we live, we live for You. If we die, we go to be with You, and our lives are still in Your hands. Teach us to trust You with our own lives and with the lives of everyone around us near and far. We thank You for the testimony of Your apostles regarding our great Savior. We hear the truth recorded for us in the Scriptures, and we rest in Your love.
