Good Morning Jesus

Opening Sentance

For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.. . . . Philippians 1:21

Christ, though tempted like us, was without sin:.
O come, let us worship.

Psalm 145

  1. I will extol you O God my king:
    I will bless your name forever and ever.
  2. Every day will I give thanks to you:
    and praise your name for ever and ever.
  3. You are great O Lord, and worthy of all praise:
    there are no bounds to your greatness.
  4. One generation shall praise your works to another:
    and proclaim your mighty acts.
  5. I will speak of the glorious splendour of your majesty;
    and of all your marvellous works.
  6. People shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds:
    and I too will proclaim your greatness.
  7. They shall pour out the story of your abundant kindness:
    and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
  8. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion:
    slow to anger and abounding in love.
  9. You Lord are good to all of us:
    and your mercy rests upon all your creatures.
  10. All your creation shall praise you O Lord:
    and your servants will bless your name.
  1. They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom:
    and their talk shall be of your power,
  2. so that all may know of your mighty deeds:
    and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.
  3. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom:
    and your dominion endures from age to age.
  4. The Lord upholds those who stumble:
    and raises up those who are down.
  5. The eyes of all look to you O Lord:
    and you give them their food in due season.

    and give what they desire to all things living.
  7. You Lord are righteous in all your ways:
    and loving in all your deeds.
  8. You Lord are near to all who call to you:
    who call to you in singleness of heart.
  9. You fulfil the desire of those who revere you:
    you hear their cry and you save them.
  10. You protect all who love you:
    but the wicked you will destroy.
  11. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord:
    let everyone bless God's holy name forever and ever.

The Armour of God

Almighty God,
grant us your wisdom and favour,
give us the grace to cast off the works of darkness
and put on the full armour of God,
now in the time of this mortal life,
Place on us the belt of truth, because you are the way,
    and the truth and the life,
the breastplate of righteousness,
    because we have no righteousness of our own,
    but you became our righteousness on the cross.
Place on us shoes of the Gospel of peace
    that we miss no opportunity to share your love with others.
Put on us the shield of faith,
    that the fiery darts of the enemy do not harm us in any way.
Put on us the helmet of salvation,
    that our minds be protected and renewed daily in You.
Put on us the sword of the Spirit,
    which is the word of God;
    and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
    the Love of God
    and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
be with us all for ever more.
Amen.
