Morning:
O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the
heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of
their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of
her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God. Hear my
cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth
will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to
the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter
for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy
tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings.
Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the
needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm.
Christ . . . suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye
should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found
in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when
he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him
that judgeth righteously.
Isaiah 38:14 Psalms 123:1-2 Psalms 61:1-4 Isaiah 25:4 1 Peter 2:21-23
Evening:
Fight the good fight of faith.
We were troubled on every side; without were fightings,
within were fears. Fear not: for they that be with us are
more than they that be with them. Be strong in the Lord, and
in the power of his might.
Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a
shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the
God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. God is my
strength and power . . . He teacheth my hands to war; so that
a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Our sufficiency is of
God.
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear
him, and delivereth them. Behold, the mountain was full of
horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
The time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of those who
through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of
fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made
strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of
the aliens.
