Morning:
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.
My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor
faint when thou art rebuked of him: for whom the Lord loveth he
chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. For whom
the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in
whom he delighteth. He maketh sore, and bindeth up: he
woundeth, and his hands make whole. Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the
earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far
as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our
transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our
frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Revelation 3:19 Hebrews 12:5-6 Proverbs 3:12 Job 5:18 1 Peter 5:6 Isaiah 48:10 Lamentations 3:33 Psalms 103:10-14
Evening:
God is in heaven, and thou upon earth:
therefore let thy words be few.
When ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
They called on the name of Baal from morning even
until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,
and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus
with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men
are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
publican. And the publican, standing afar off, would not
lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his
breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this
man went down to his house justified rather than the other.
Lord, teach us to pray.
Ecclesiastes 5:2 Matthew 6:7-8 1 Kings 18:26 Luke 18:10-11 Luke 18:13-14 Luke 11:1
