Prayer

Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.

Old Testament Reading - God's words to Joshua

thumb

5No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. 6Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous to abe careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn aside from it to the right or to the left, so that you may bbe prosperous wherever you go. 8This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may abe careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful, and then you will bbe prosperous. 9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be in dread or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

. . . . .Joshua 1:5-9 (LSB)
  1. Literally: observe
  2. Or act wisely

Confession

Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you,
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart.
We have not loved others
as our Saviour Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may delight in your will
and walk in your ways,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
