MatinsPrayer
Blessèd are you, Sovereign God, ruler of the nations,
to you be glory and praise for ever!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
your name is proclaimed in all the world.
As the Sun of Righteousness dawns in our hearts,
anoint our lips with the seal of your Spirit
that we may witness to your gospel
and sing your praise in all the world,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Old Testament Reading - Jesus Birthday Presents
7-9Let me tell you what God said next.
He said, “You’re my son,
And today is your birthday.
What do you want? Name it:
Nations as a present? continents as a prize?
You can command them all to dance for you,
Or throw them out with tomorrow’s trash.”
10-12So, rebel-kings, use your heads;
Upstart-judges, learn your lesson:
Worship God in adoring embrace,
Celebrate in trembling awe. Kiss Messiah!
Your very lives are in danger, you know;
His anger is about to explode,
But if you make a run for God — you won’t regret it!
Intercession
Please remember our Prayer Requests
Lord, send us your loving-kindness in the morning
and so shall we rejoice and be glad.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Let not the oppressed turn away ashamed;
let the poor and needy praise your name.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.
Teach us your ways, O Lord,
and we will walk in your truth.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Amen.
