*THE PRAYER OF THE DAY AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
(unison)
O Lord God, you led your people through the wilderness and brought
them to the promised land. So guide us, that, following our Savior, we may walk
through the wilderness of this world toward the glory of the world to come;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever and taught us to pray…
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 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 Thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, forever. Amen

God, Grant Me to Be Silent
Sir Paul Reeves
God, grant me to
be silent before you, that I may hear you;
God grant me to be at rest in you, that you may work in me;
God grant me to be open to you, that you may enter;
God grant to me to be empty before you, that you may fill me.
Let me be still, and know you are my God. Amen.
