29th Lauds

Good Morning Jesus

Opening Sentance

I looked, and heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. . . . .Revelation 5:11.

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

Sukkot - Wave the Lulav

Face east while holding the Lulav bundle in your right hand and the etrog in your left hand. You lift them together with the etrog (lemon) pointing downward and recite the Lulav blessing.

Blessed are you, Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
Who sanctifies us with His commandments
and commanded us regarding the waving of the Lulav.

Psalm 116

PART ONE

I love you O Lord because you heard my voice;
when I made my supplication.
because you turned your ear to me;
when I called upon your name.
The cords of death entangled me,
and the grip of Sheol laid hold on me;
distress and anguish descended upon me.
Then I called upon the name of the Lord;
'Deliver me O Lord I beseech you.'
Gracious is the Lord and righteous:
truly our God is a God of compassion.
The Lord preserves the simple-hearted:
when I was brought low the Lord saved me.
Be at rest once more O my soul
for the Lord has treated you kindly.
The Lord has saved me from death;
and kept my eyes from tears
and my feet from stumbling.
so that I may walk in the presence of the Lord:
in the land of the living.

PART TWO

I kept my faith, even when I said,
'I am in sore distress':
in my haste I said, 'No one can be trusted.'
How can I repay you O Lord:
for all the good things you have done to me?
I will take up the cup of salvation:
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all God's people.
Grievous in the sight of the Lord:
is the death of a faithful servant.
Lord I am your servant,
the child of your maidservant:
you have freed me from my bonds.
I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving:
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all God's people.
in the courts of the Lord's house:
in your midst O Jerusalem.
O praise the Lord.

Morning Prayer

Gracious Father,
as we begin a new day,
help us to engage your will with a reckless faith.
Teach us to trust in you,
and help us grow in righteousness.
Heavenly Lord,
give us the courage to step out in faith this day.
Fill our hearts with your spirit,
and let us speak your words with pride.
Amen.
