I Need You Lord – Morning Prayer, Monday, Proper 26

The Season After Pentecost, Monday, Proper 26 in the Church Calendar This week we are following the Daily Office lectionary with an episode Monday through Friday. Our general order and lectionary comes from the Book of Common Prayer Daily Office. We’ll sing a song I wrote called “I Need You Lord.” We’ll then offer a Prayer of Confession. We’ll read Psalms 56 and 57 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Scripture Lesson is Luke 12:49-59 . We’ll say the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Collect of the Day. We’ll then have a time of prompted prayer. If you have a prayer request please submit it here. Sign up here for the email list. Visit Patreon to give and support Morning Prayer monthly.
