<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 17, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerThere is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Holy Spirit of God: I confess today my neglect of you. I am not yielded to your influence as I ought to be. I walk in the flesh rather than in the Spirit, and as a result I bear the fruit of the flesh rather than the fruit of the Spirit. Gracious Holy Spirit, forgive my sin and overcome my weakness. Subdue my restless heart and overwhelm me with your presence, that I might hear your voice clearly, yield to your control eagerly, and bear your fruit consistently. Through Christ, our Lord: Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Ezekiel 2 &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: 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationGod: I adore you because your grace is sufficient for me. Thank you for my many weaknesses, which magnify your power and glory. Help me boast gladly in them, that your power may rest upon me. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 138 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationO Lord, help me today to focus my whole heart and mind on your extraordinary goodness. You care for me in many ways, but the psalm reminds me of three specific examples of your faithfulness: you answer me when I call; you see me and are near to me when I’m low; and you fulfill your purpose for me with enduring, everlasting love. Set me free from the old habits, addictions, and inferior sources of comfort that interrupt my connection with you and others. Help me, Lord, as I reject those counterfeit things and fix my heart on the true consolation of your love. Fill my mind with songs that remind me of your ways; your mercy, your glory, your attentive care, your strong protection. I love you, for your steadfast love endures forever.&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;

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 16, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerO God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace God of mercy, whose Son, Jesus Christ, beckons me with the wide embrace of his love: I confess that I have been a wayward child. I have disobeyed your commands; I have been deaf to your call; I have been cold to your love. In thought, word, and deed, I have hurt others and dishonored your name. In your great mercy, receive me again as your beloved child, not because I am worthy, but for the sake of Jesus, who loved me and gave himself for me.&nbsp;Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 44:1-20 &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: Romans 8:12-25 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationI adore you, Father, for giving me the Spirit of adoption, by whom I cry, “Abba, Father!” Thank you, Holy Spirit, for bearing witness with my spirit that I am a child of God. And thank you for the sweet inward groaning that I experience as I wait eagerly, with all creation, for your full and final redemption. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 128 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationFather, today I take hold of this promise: “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.” I know the word “blessed” means happy, content, satisfied. All around me today, I hear voices telling me where true happiness is to be found - promising that I will be BLESSED by chasing after the gods of this world. So let this Psalm be an anchor for me, today and every day. Help me believe that fearing you and walking in your ways is the path to true fulfillment. And then help me take the small, everyday steps of walking in your ways. Guide me today by your Spirit, and let my heart be soft to your leading. I pray this not just for myself, but for all your people. May we fear you, and walk in your ways.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;

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 15, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerTo you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Heavenly Father, I enter this day full of thanksgiving, because you have redeemed my life by your mercy and grace. I worship you for such a great salvation even as I come to you in repentance. Hear my confession, Father. Forgive me for under-believing your gospel and over-believing my worries. Forgive me for being slow to listen and quick to judgment. Forgive me for failing to love you and your church. Have mercy on me, Lord, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.&nbsp;&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: 2 Samuel 5 &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.

Amen. &nbsp; New Testament Reading: Luke 11:1-23 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationO God: I adore you because you are a good Father. You give good gifts to your children, and you answer those who call on you. You promise to give the Holy Spirit to all your children who ask; so today, I ask. Fill me with your Holy Spirit! &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 123 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationGod, this Psalm reminds me how important my eyes are to worship. I’m going to look to something today for identity, for security, for meaning. As the eyes of servants look to their master, my eyes are meant to look to you. I realize how often my eyes look down - to people, to experiences, to tangible realities in this world - as my source of life and meaning. Today, help me lift my eyes to you, who are enthroned in the heavens! Get my eyes UP - off of this world, with its many vanities, and onto you, in all of your glory. My soul has had more than enough of the contempt of the proud. Fill my soul with life and joy as I look to you, this day and every day.&nbsp;&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;

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 14, 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 Lord God, in Christ you have adopted me as your beloved child. But I confess that deep inside my soul I doubt your love for me. Instead of being satisfied in your acceptance, I look for acceptance elsewhere. Instead of resting in your love, I am restless with fear, control, and worry. Forgive my lack of trust in your promises. Forgive my doubt of your great love. Let your perfect love cast out all fear, and free me to glorify and enjoy you fully. In Jesus’ name. Amen.&nbsp;Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Genesis 28 &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 6:1-13 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationLord God, I adore you because you use flawed, foolish disciples as the means of making your kingdom known in this world. Thank you for your power which works mightily in me, and in all who bear your name and live for your glory. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 85 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationO God: this Psalm looks back to your faithfulness in the past as our hope for revival in the present. Because you have restored your people, I know you can restore your people. But we are fickle, O Lord. We are prone to wander, to spurn your steadfast love, and to turn back to folly. I see this in my own life, and I see it in the lives of those I love. Our hope is not in our faithfulness, but in yours. So restore us again, O Lord! Renew our love for you, our obedience to you, our fear of you. Speak peace to your people, to your saints. Revive us again, that we may rejoice in you!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;

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 13, 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 Holy Spirit: because of my union with Christ, you dwell within me. Yet I confess that I still live according to the flesh. I do not live in conscious dependence upon you. I do not walk in vital communion with you. I am self-reliant and self-trusting, more defined by this age than by the age to come. Forgive me, Gracious Father, for neglecting the gift of your Spirit. Today, fill me afresh with the Spirit’s presence. Revive my soul. Renew my zeal. Release your power in me, for the glory of Your name.&nbsp;Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Genesis 18:16-33 &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.

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 13:24-43 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationLord Jesus, your kingdom often appears weak, hidden, and ineffective, in this world. Yet I thank you that one day you will rule the whole world, purging evil, rewarding righteousness, and bring to creation to its full glory.&nbsp; &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 48 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationO God, with the Psalmist I will meditate on Zion, your holy city. It’s a physical place, but it’s also meant to depict you as our loving, powerful, and steadfast king. This psalm gives fire to my imagination and stirs my affections as I picture your city, beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the earth. Kings and rulers are humbled by its power, but your people are invited to walk freely among its towers, seeing them as symbols of your strength and steadfast love. Help me to direct my imagination to your city today, Father. I may find myself in pleasant surroundings, or I may face various kinds of darkness. Whatever my circumstance, help me remember your steadfast love by meditating on the beauty and strength of the City of God.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;

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 11, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerSearch me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Almighty God: you have commanded me to love my neighbor as myself. But today, as I contemplate my lack of love, I am humbled to the dust. Too often, I avoid others when they bother me. I ignore others when they don’t interest me. I use others when they benefit me. I reject others when they sin against me. My love is shallow and self-serving. Forgive me, O God. Thank you that in Christ, you have loved me with a love incomprehensible. May your love fill me, and transform me, for the glory of your name. Amen.&nbsp;Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Amos 8:1-12 &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.

Amen. &nbsp; New Testament Reading: Colossians 1:15-29 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationLord Jesus Christ: I adore you because by you all things were created, and in you all things hold together. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything you might be preeminent.&nbsp; &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 130 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationFather, today I hear the Psalmist telling me, “O Israel, hope in the Lord!” And my soul says, “I will! I will wait for the Lord, and in his word I will hope.” Lord, I realize that hope involves waiting. Like night-watchmen wait for the morning, life with you is full of waiting and hoping, trusting that you will make good on your promises. So help me wait on you. Let me not be in a hurry. Help me reject the lies of instant gratification and immediate fulfillment. Strengthen my hope by the power of the Holy Spirit, that I might embrace a long obedience in the same direction.&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;

For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Almighty God: I cannot keep silent about my sin; when I do, my bones waste away and your hand is heavy upon me. So I will acknowledge my sin to you, and I will not cover my iniquity. Today, I acknowledge the sin of ENTITLEMENT. I live with a demanding spirit that grabs, clutches, and expects, rather than with a generous spirit that thanks you and blesses others. Forgive me, O Lord, by the mercy of Jesus, who did not regard equality with you as something to be grasped, but emptied himself that I might be filled. Fill me up today with the freedom and joy of grace, for Your name’s sake: Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Lamentations 3:1-33 &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.

Amen. &nbsp; New Testament Reading: 2 Corinthians 8 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationHoly God, I adore you for the grace of our Lord Jesus, who, though he was rich, became poor, so that we through his poverty might become rich. Grant me a generous spirit, Lord, that with joy I may earnestly give my time and resources to build your church. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 119:1-24 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationFather: in these moments, I seek to store up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I want to love your word more than I do. I want to revere and respect your word more than I do. I want to meditate on your word and give attention to it, that it may shape how I see the world. So even today, let me see your word bearing fruit in my life. Bring the Scriptures to mind throughout the day; let your truth be on my heart and on my tongue. Make your word delightful to me, that I may desire it more than all riches.&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;

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > July 9, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerO God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Lord Jesus, I confess to you the shallowness of my repentance. I am content to deal with surface sins, rather than exploring the dark contours of my inner being. I am content to offer words of repentance, rather than bringing forth the fruit of repentance. Humble me greatly today. Reveal to me the depth of my depravity and the strength of my idolatry, that I may drink more deeply of your mercy and delight more fully in the beauty of Jesus Christ my Savior. Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 55 &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.

Amen. &nbsp; New Testament Reading: Romans 8:1-11 &nbsp; Prayer of AdorationGracious Father, I adore you because you have set me free in Jesus Christ from sin and death. And I adore you, Holy Spirit, because you live in me, enabling me to walk in holiness and gratitude. Thank you that instead of a law that condemns me, I have a God who dwells in me. Amen.&nbsp; &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 65 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationPraise is due to you, O God, in Zion! I don’t pray to you this morning only because I need it; I pray to you because praise and worship and adoration and glory are your rightful due. “Blessed is the one you choose and bring near” - so thank you that in your sovereign grace, you have chosen me and brought me near through the work of Jesus Christ. “YOU are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.” But so many around me don’t hope in you! Even though you’re the only one they can find true hope in… they spend their energy and time and money on lesser things. So give me today a rightful jealousy for your glory. Break my heart for the ways my friends and neighbors are not giving you your rightful due. Let me be driven to prayer and mercy and evangelism by an earnest concern for the glory and beauty of your name.&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;

O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Holy God: Dust I am, and to dust I shall return. I am like a flower of the field, that appears for a little while and then vanishes. But I confess my tendency to live days, weeks, even months at a time with little thought for my mortality, and little consideration for eternity. Forgive my presumption and self-reliance. Humble me to the dust, that I might be ever-mindful of my frailty, and freshly awed by your eternal, infinite beauty. Through Christ, our Lord: Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: 2 Samuel 1 &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.

Like your disciples, I find myself asking what I must do in order to do the works of God. Thank you your work is already finished, the feast is already given, and all I need to do is trust in you.&nbsp; &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 52 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationO God: as I cross the threshold of this day, I thank you for this Psalm which draws a stark contrast between good and evil. I live in a world that has lost its moral clarity; but your Word has not! In my life, I will encounter people who “love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking what is right.” It gives me strength to remember that “You will break them down forever.” And it gives me hope to know that “the righteous will see and laugh.” Those who boast in evil are not to be feared; they are to be laughed at, because their rebellion is no match for your righteousness. Thank you for the picture of a green olive tree, thriving in the house of God: make me like that tree! Give me a firm trust in you, a resolute hatred of evil, and a joyful patience as I wait for the fulfillment of all your promises.&nbsp;&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;

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.

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.

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 O Lord, you promise to work all things for my good, Yet I confess that instead of delighting in your grace, I find reasons to be unhappy. I have filled my life with busyness and scheduled myself into exhaustion. I have been quick to judge others and slow to forgive them.

One who does what is right; speaks truth; does not slander or do evil to a neighbor; one who honors the godly, protects the innocent, and keeps his word.

Instead of resting in your sovereignty, I fear the unknown. Instead of bringing my requests before you in prayer, I worry and fret. Instead of letting you be God, I fight for control.

I confess that I have neglected your command to make disciples. I have been content to keep the light of your gospel hidden. I have valued my comfort over your kingdom, my security over your power, and my reputation over your glory. Forgive me Lord, for my unbelief in the power of your Gospel and for my lack of faith in your promises.

I ask you to “see my affliction from those who hate me.” Like the Psalmist, I have enemies; there are even those who hate me and seek my downfall. So give me the grace to love my enemies and to pray for those who persecute me. Give me the strength to bear up under affliction and to stay engaged in difficult relationships. My hardship is small compared to many; so I pray today for the needy, the oppressed, and the poor throughout the world: “Arise, O Lord!

I have thought too highly of myself. I have spoken boastfully, loved selfishly, and lived independently.

Sometimes I feel that you have forgotten me; that you have hidden your face and given me over to sorrow. When I feel these things, I am in good company! You are big enough, strong enough, and loving enough to welcome my bold lament. At the same time, you remind me to embrace not only the present, but the past and the future. “I HAVE trusted in your steadfast love; my heart SHALL rejoice in your salvation.” Today is not the whole story. So help me be honest with you about the state of my soul; but keep me from hopelessness. No matter how troubling my present circumstances are, set my eyes on your salvation and your steadfast love.

Thank you for all the momentary afflictions you send my way to prepare for me an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 130 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationLord, I think of ancient watchmen on the city walls, waiting for morning, when the threat of a nighttime attack would be over. That’s how I want to wait for you - not with passive apathy, but with earnest intention, looking, watching, scanning the horizon for evidences of your grace. And that’s how I want to hope in your word - not letting your truth passively fall upon my ears, but taking it in, ruminating on it, letting it fill me with life and joy and courage. So as I begin this day, let me wait upon you. Even if that “waiting” is just a few precious minutes before the duties of the day press in on me - let me cherish the chance to wait on you and to watch for your goodness in my life.

I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace God my Father, in my weakness and unbelief I have lived by my own strength rather than by the power of your resurrection. I confess my self-reliance. By your Spirit, so draw my heart to you, so guide my mind, so fill my imagination, so control my will, that I may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated to you; and then use me as you will, for your glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Jesus will never die again - and neither will I! &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 86:11-17 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationToday, O Lord, I meditate on this oft-repeated description of your character: “You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” This reminder gives me confidence as I move into this day. You are not a capricious god, whose love for me comes and goes based on my performance. Rather, you are committed to me, bound to me in covenant faithfulness because of Jesus. So today, let your never-ending love form the basis of my identity. Let it drive away all insecurity and all fear. Free me from using those around me as the basis of my identity, worth, and value. Instead, make me fully present and fully available to others, grounded in the stable identity that flows from your covenant love.&nbsp;&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;

O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Merciful God: You created me in your image, with a mind to know you, a heart to love you, and a will to serve you. But my knowledge is imperfect, my love inconstant, my obedience incomplete. Day by day, I fail to grow into your likeness. I confess my failure to glorify you as you designed me to.

Though you knew what would happen to you there, you moved toward the cross with resolute purpose. Thank you for your unflinching obedience to the Father’s will.&nbsp; &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 86:1-10 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationFather: this Psalm encourages me to have confidence as I approach you. The Psalmist says: “Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you.” Sometimes I am hesitant to say “I am godly” - for I know all too well the sin that clings so closely to me. And I’m reluctant to say “I trust in you” - because I know my trust is imperfect. But because I belong to you… because I am united with Christ, and your Spirit dwells in me… these things ARE true of me. I am your servant, who trusts in you! So today, give ear to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace. Fill me with your Spirit, that I might face the trials and troubles of this day with hope. Give me a strong and godly demeanor, that I might say no to every wrong attitude. Let me love others as you love me, and let me act in ways that further your kingdom and show your glory to the world.&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;

You triumphed over Egypt; you redeemed your people; you parted the sea. Thank you that your redemption is historical - you accomplish real acts in actual time and space that change history! And thank you that the Exodus from Egypt foreshadowed a greater Exodus to come - the work of the Lord Jesus Christ to lead sinners out of bondage and into freedom. Today, help me expect you to show up in the actual history of my life. Open my eyes right now to the hints of your providence; the reality of your presence; and the possibility of your direct intervention in my life.

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.

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.

Thank you for bearing the curse, that we might inherit the blessing. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 139 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationFather: this Psalm reminds me of how intimately you know me. You know when I sit down and when I rise. You discern my thoughts from afar. You formed my innermost parts while I was in my mother’s womb. There is no place I can go to flee from your presence; nowhere in all of creation where I can escape you. Your vast knowledge is both comforting and challenging. It’s comforting because I don’t have to pretend; but it’s challenging because I can’t hide. I confess that I don’t really WANT to be known this intimately. There are parts of me I’d rather keep hidden - from you and others. So show me today what parts of my life I’m trying to hide. Reveal to me where I’m trying to flee from your presence.

On the one hand, this is a declaration of truth: I DO love the Lord. In another way, this is a plea for grace: I love the Lord… (and I want to love him more!). And in yet another sense, this is a reminder in times of doubt: I love the Lord (even though at times I feel distant and discouraged). I love you, Lord! And what do people do who love you? They “lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.” So that is what I will do today. I will rejoice in your salvation, and I will continue to call out to you and express my needs.

I live in a world that tells me that I am the master of my fate and the captain of my soul. So it is good to be reminded today of these simple truths: “It is He who made us, and we are His; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” I am reminded of both my greatness and my smallness. On the one hand, it is you who made me; I bear your image, and therefore I am full of dignity and glory. On the other hand, I am a sheep of your pasture; I am finite and limited, and I need a Shepherd to guide me. So today, as I dwell on these truths, let me make a joyful noise, and let me serve you with gladness.

And my own soul, too, is often cast down within me. This Psalm gives me language to speak to myself: “Why are you cast down, o my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Hope in God!” I confess, Father, that often I wallow in my discouragement rather than preaching the good news to myself. Help me to follow the example of the Psalmist, calling my soul to rejoice in you. And thank you for sending Jesus, the gentle Savior who does not break the bruised reed or extinguish the smoldering wick.

The Psalmist reminds me that you show no partiality: to the saints of old, “you were a forgiving God… but an avenger of their wrongdoings.” That phrase reminds me how the whole Bible points to Jesus; in him, you both forgive and avenge. Because Jesus bore my guilt, I can be forgiven. Which gives me even more reason than the Psalmist had to tremble, and to praise your holy and awesome name! Because “the Lord our God is holy,” I know that one day every wrong will be made right, and every sin brought to justice. Today, let your holiness move me to reverent worship and humble obedience.

Like those who witnessed Jesus’ miracles of healing yet spurned belief, I too have seen wonders, yet have hardened my heart.

You have brought your people into covenant relationship, calling us out of slavery and into blessed union with you. You ask us to be faithful to that covenant by listening to your voice and walking in your ways. Like the Israelites, we have not listened to your voice.

I will sing to you while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet and pleasing in your sight. My imagination is filled with images of the sea: the ships going back and forth, and creatures teeming in the water. In ancient times the ocean was a symbol of chaos and darkness, but this psalm shows it as a joyful expression of your creativity. Holy Spirit, you not only fill the people of God and guide us into truth; you also sustain the entire created order. You bring life and renewal; you open your hand and fill your creatures with good things.

O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me. Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Merciful Father, I come before you today not in penitent fear but in repentant faith. Because you have raised me up with Christ, I now humble myself before you. I confess that I have been proud, attempting to live an autonomous life and believing the lie of self-sufficiency.

Have mercy on me today, O Lord my God, and empower me for greater trust, submission, and obedience, through Christ my Savior: Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Numbers 11:24-30 &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.

Thank you for this most wonderful gift. Amen. &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 104:1-23 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationIt does me good to meditate on your beauty, O Lord. It steadies me when I feel insecure. It clears my head when I feel chaotic and distracted. The psalm reminds me that you are an extraordinary being: clothed with splendor, dressed in light. The clouds and the wind carry messages of your greatness. The mountains and oceans move at your pleasure, and the earth is satisfied by the fruit of your work. And yet, along with your immensity comes your eye for detail and your loving awareness of very small things. The psalm shows us your sky and mountains, and then reminds us that birds build nests in your trees, and you see your people going home after a long day’s work. I love you for being the God of the big and the little.&nbsp;&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;

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things in your law. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Holy Spirit of God: I confess today my neglect of you. I am not yielded to your influence as I ought to be. I walk in the flesh rather than in the Spirit, and as a result I bear the fruit of the flesh rather than the fruit of the Spirit. Gracious Holy Spirit, forgive my sin and overcome my weakness. Subdue my restless heart and overwhelm me with your presence, that I might hear your voice clearly, yield to your control eagerly, and bear your fruit consistently.

You will do away with evil uses of power. You will guide the nations and rule in righteousness.

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > May 25, 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 God of mercy, whose Son, Jesus Christ, beckons me with the wide embrace of his love: I confess that I have been a wayward child. I have disobeyed your commands; I have been deaf to your call; I have been cold to your love. In thought, word, and deed, I have hurt others and dishonored your name.

I adore you for the gift of the Holy Spirit! &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 22 &nbsp; Prayer of Consecration“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” O God, it’s impossible to read this Psalm without thinking of Jesus on the cross, crying out to you in his great moment of need. Like him, I know that you invite ME to cry out to you. You see my anxieties and understand my concerns. When I reflect on my life, I see that you continually preserve me, provide for me, and work out your healing power in me. But it’s not enough to remember these things in private. This Psalm says you are “enthroned on the praises of Israel.” It’s through publicly praising you that I lift you up and show your greatness to the world. So I’ll praise you in the great congregation, joining with your people to celebrate your faithfulness. From the patriarchs and matriarchs of Scripture to the believers I know personally, there is so much evidence of your grace.

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > May 23, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerO Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know my thoughts before I think them.

Awaken me now, to seek you while you may be found, to call upon you while you are near, and to live a life that brings glory to your name. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Heavenly Father, I enter this day full of thanksgiving, because you have redeemed my life by your mercy and grace. I worship you for such a great salvation even as I come to you in repentance. Hear my confession, Father. Forgive me for under-believing your gospel and over-believing my worries.

Unless you watch over the city, the watchmen stay awake in vain. This Psalm reminds me of my utter dependence on you for everything. I toil and strive as though it’s all up to me; yet you’re the one who generously gives success and abundance. So let me sleep easy tonight, resting in your divine goodness. This Psalm also reminds me that marriage and family are to be celebrated among your people. So help me seek the flourishing of the families around me, whatever my own circumstance may be. Let me treasure children as a blessing, and let me seek their good always. Forgive me for regarding my own life with fear of scarcity. Forgive me for not expecting your rich blessings upon those who fear you. Open my hands wider to receive your gifts. Expand my capacity for celebrating all the good things you give to your people.

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > May 22, 2026 The Daily Liturgy Podcast &nbsp; Opening PrayerO Lord, you have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek.” Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn me away in anger. Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Lord God, in Christ you have adopted me as your beloved child. But I confess that deep inside my soul I doubt your love for me. Instead of being satisfied in your acceptance, I look for acceptance elsewhere. Instead of resting in your love, I am restless with fear, control, and worry. Forgive my lack of trust in your promises. Forgive my doubt of your great love. Let your perfect love cast out all fear, and free me to glorify and enjoy you fully. In Jesus’ name.

I rejoice in your imminent return, when I will finally see clearly what I now only glimpse by faith. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! &nbsp; Psalm Reading: Psalm 94 &nbsp; Prayer of ConsecrationO Lord, thank you for the good news that you are a God of vengeance. I live in a world full of disorder and injustice, where evildoers boast in their wickedness and take advantage of the widow, the sojourner, and the fatherless. At times it feels as though you are silent, absent, unmoved by the evil in the world. But the truth is that nothing escapes your notice. You see and hear every injustice. You will rise up; you will bring every act to justice and every soul to account. Our great hope, when faced with evildoers, is that “the Lord our God will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness.” Let this promise serve as a warning to me; make me quick to repent and resolute to turn from all evil. Thank you that in your vengeance, there is hope of mercy through the Lord Jesus Christ. May I hide myself in Him, and be spared in the day of your recompense.

<figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > &nbsp; Opening PrayerO Lord, God of my salvation, every day I call upon you, in the morning my prayer comes before you. Incline your ear to my cry! For my soul is full of troubles, and my strength fails. Renew me each morning with your steadfast love, that I may rejoice and be glad all my days. &nbsp; Confession of Sin &amp; Prayer for Grace Living God, I confess today my deep tendency to pretend and perform. Rather than resting in the righteousness of Christ, I try to earn your favor through what I do. And when I fail to live up to your standard, I hide and pretend rather than running to the cross of Christ. In this pattern of pride and unbelief, I am weary. And so I come to you, knowing that I do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with my weakness. I have one who was tempted in every way, yet without sin. So let me draw near to the throne of grace with confidence, that I may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Strengthen me by your Spirit to live in the good of the gospel, today and always. Amen.Pause to confess specifically any sins the Holy Spirit may be convicting you about. &nbsp; Old Testament Reading: Jonah 1:17-2:10 &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.

This psalm is a window into the new heavens and the new earth, when all of creation is restored and all of humanity healed. Your people will celebrate your glory forever, because in your justice, you’ll reveal, judge, and restore. Nothing has been lost that will not be found in you. Nothing has been broken that will not be healed in you. You’ll mend us completely. You’ll renew the earth. You’ll judge with righteousness and equity. So today, let me live in anticipation of your coming kingdom. Fill me with hope, ground me in grace, and let me overflow with love.
