MORNING

Be not far from me; for trouble is near.

Psalm 22:11

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? — Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. — The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. — Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. — Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. — My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

EVENING

Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew 6:9

Thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? — Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. — I saw … the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone. — I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself.

The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. — That we might be partakers of his holiness. — Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, let us draw near with a true heart.
