<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 7, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerBlessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes! I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things in your law. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Merciful Father, I come into your presence with deep gratitude, for I am no longer under the law but under grace. Resting in that truth, I freely confess my brokenness and my weakness before you. Instead of worshipping you, I have put myself at the center of my life. Instead of honoring others, I have withheld words of blessing and spoken words of harm. Have mercy on me, for Jesus' sake. By your Holy Spirit, awaken in me today passionate worship, joyful obedience, and wholehearted love for others. Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Genesis 25:19-34 &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: Mark 5:21-43 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationLord Jesus, I adore you for your great compassion. To the sick, the poor, and the desperate you bring healing, mercy, and hope. You ask for nothing except trust. Thank you for your healing grace.&nbsp; &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 30 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationO God, this is the great promise of redemption: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning. There is much in this world and in my life to cause weeping. But everlasting joy is coming! One day tears and sorrow will be no more; and even now, joy is the currency of life in your kingdom. Whatever things make me mourn, let me remember that they are but momentary. And help me remember that you HAVE turned my mourning into dancing. You have removed all my sin and united me with the Lord Jesus. And so, despite all the troubles of this world, my joy can never be taken away. Help me go about my work today with relentless joy, resting secure in the happiness and peace that is mine in Christ.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;
