<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > June 15, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerO Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Eternal God, my fear and my unbelief run deep. While I may outwardly confess your salvation, inwardly I deny the power of your Gospel. I work to keep up appearances, but I neglect the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy and faithfulness. Yet according to your steadfast love, you have forgiven me through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Direct my path, Lord, that I may walk in repentance and humility before you and others. Amen.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Genesis 3 &nbsp; The Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.&nbsp;Thy kingdom come.&nbsp;Thy will be done,&nbsp;on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.&nbsp;And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,&nbsp;but deliver us from evil.&nbsp;For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory,&nbsp;forever. Amen. &nbsp; New Testament Reading: Matthew 10:24-42 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationO God: you know me so deeply that even the hairs of my head are numbered. I am not insignificant or unimportant; I am “of more value than many sparrows.” I adore you for the way you know and care for me. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 77:1-10 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationFather: this Psalm acknowledges the reality of deep distress - the kind of trouble that causes me to lose sleep and that makes my spirit faint. Your people are always experiencing seasons like this. I have known these seasons; and if I’m not in one right now, then someone else is. Father, I ask you to make me especially mindful of the troubles of those around me today. Make me particularly sensitive to facial cues and body language. Help me discern when souls are downcast and discouraged. Allow my prayers today to flow toward those in your body who are troubled. And make me an instrument of your peace. Thank you, Jesus, that you are a Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief. Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you intercede for the saints with groanings too deep for words.&nbsp;Take time now specifically to intercede for yourself, your neighbors, your church, your city, and the world, bringing your needs and the needs of others before the Lord. &nbsp; BENEDICTIONAnd now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and always, until the day of Christ's return. &nbsp; <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > &nbsp;
