• Friday, May 30th | Psalm 85

  Passage: 8 Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. (Psalm 85:8–11 ESV) Song: Your Will Be Done by Jonny Robinson and Rich Thompson Lyrics: Your will be done my God and Father As in heaven so on earth My heart is drawn to self-exalting Help me seek Your kingdom first As Jesus walked so shall I walk Held by Your same unchanging love Be still my soul O lift your voice and pray Father not my will but Yours be done How in that garden he persisted I may never fully know The fearful weight of true obedience It was held by him alone What wondrous faith to bear that cross To bear my sin what wondrous love My hope was sure when there my Saviour prayed Father not my will but Yours be done When I am lost when I am broken In the night of fear and doubt Still I will trust in my good Father Yes to one great King I bow As Jesus rose so I shall rise In ransomed glory at the throne My heart restored with all Your saints I sing Father not my will but Yours be done As we go forth our God and Father Lead us daily in the fight That all the world might see Your glory And Your Name be lifted high And in this Name we overcome For You shall see us safely home Now as Your church we lift our voice and pray Father not my will but Yours be done And in this Name we overcome For You shall see us safely home Now as Your church we lift our voice and pray Father not my will but Yours be done Father not my will but Yours be done Father not my will but Yours be done Prayer: You, Lord, have become my hope, my comfort, my strength, my all! In you does my soul rejoice. The darkness vanished from before my eyes, and I beheld you, the sun of righteousness. When I loved darkness, I knew you not, but wandered on from night to night. But you led me out of that blindness; you took me by the hand and called me to yourself, and now I can thank you, and your mighty voice which has penetrated to my inmost heart. Amen. -Augustine

  Passage: 8 “Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! 9 There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. 10 I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. 12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. 13 Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!” (Psalm 81:8–13 ESV) Song: Yes, Jesus, I Receive by Avery Collins Lyrics: Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive The waiting 'cause Your timing's perfect Yes Jesus I receive Remaining still when I want to act Yes Jesus I receive Desiring Your will and not my own Yes Jesus I receive Saying yes to joy through it all Yes Jesus I receive Going out into the dark night Yes Jesus I receive The crosses You have for me Yes Jesus I receive The pain and the suffering Yes Jesus I receive Embracing death 'cause I was made for eternity Yes Jesus I receive All that You will for me Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive Yes Jesus I receive Prayer: Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who care for us: Preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. -Book of Common Prayer

  Passage: 5 And Moses commanded the people of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, “The tribe of the people of Joseph is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Let them marry whom they think best, only they shall marry within the clan of the tribe of their father. 7 The inheritance of the people of Israel shall not be transferred from one tribe to another, for every one of the people of Israel shall hold on to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 10 The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord commanded Moses, 11 for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to sons of their father’s brothers.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

• Monday, May 26th | Numbers 35

  Passage: 6 “The cities that you give to the Levites shall be the six cities of refuge, where you shall permit the manslayer to flee, and in addition to them you shall give forty-two cities. 7 All the cities that you give to the Levites shall be forty-eight, with their pasturelands. 25 And the congregation shall rescue the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he had fled, and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil. 28 But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the boundaries of his city of refuge to which he fled, 29 and the avenger of blood finds him outside the boundaries of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood. (Numbers 35:6–7, 25, 28–29 ESV) Song: Amen by Anna Hamilton and Grace Ibbott Lyrics: We’ve built kingdoms in our own names We’ve been distant walked our own way Seeking idols and not Your face But Father You’re too precious to us to trade away So we come again Kneel at Your feet again And we say amen Let Your will be done in us We’ve seen injustice and let it be Drawn our own lines on Your masterpiece So with repentance in humility Father form in us the church You long to see With no questions no reservations Here we are King of love You have our hearts Let justice roll like a mighty river On and on as we pray Your kingdom come Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen. -The Book of Common Prayer
