Midday

Midday Reminder: Proverbs 30:7-9

   “O God, I beg two favors from you;

   let me have them before I die.

   First, help me never to tell a lie.

   Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!

   Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.

   For if I grow rich,
   I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?”

   And if I am too poor,
   I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.”
 
The Tax Collector’s Prayer (Luke 18:13)
   God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
 

Praying With Jesus (Matthew 6:9-13)

   God of heaven and earth and all that is,

   I honor you and commit myself to you.

   I will follow your Way in all times and places,

   and I am content with what you bring me today.

   I am only human and I need your help with it, but 

   I would offer others the grace which I need from you.

   Thank you for being my strength when I am weak, 

   and my wisdom when I speak.

   Thank you for the peace to move forward, 

   for being my God and providing all that I need. 

   Amen.
