Sunday’s Hymn of the Day is In God, My
Faithful God (LSB #745). Where shall we turn, where shall we place our
trust in the face of adversity, whether physical or spiritual? In God, my
faithful God. Because we know that God has redeemed us from all sins, from
death, and from the power of the devil by the blessed death of His Son, our
Savior Jesus Christ, we can confidently face all adversity, and proclaim, Dear
Lord, we all adore You, we sing for joy before You.
Prayer for humility: O God, You resist the proud and give grace to the humble. Grant us true humility after the likeness of Your only Son that we may never be arrogant and prideful and thus provoke Your wrath but in all lowliness be made partakers of the gifts of Your grace; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the blessedness of heaven: Almighty, everlasting God, You gave Your only Son to
be a High Priest of good things to come. Grant unto us, Your unworthy servants,
to have our share in the company of the blessed for all eternity; through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for Proper 25: Almighty and everlasting God, You are always more
ready to hear than we are to pray and always ready to give more than we either
desire or deserve. Pour down on us the abundance of Your mercy; forgiving us
those things of which our conscience is afraid; and give us those good things
for which we are not worthy to ask except by the merits of Jesus Christ Your
Lord. [1]
O God, who hast spoken unto us through the Scriptures
of old, help us to speak to Thee, while we use these same Scriptures now. We
could not know thee, or address thee, hast Thou not revealed thyself unto us;
and the words which we now utter proceed from those which our fathers heard of
old, and know to be thine own. For these we give perpetual thanks; and we
beseech Thee in thy wisdom to make us wise regarding them. Through Jesus Christ our
LORD. Amen (Anonymous)[2]
