Praying with Psalm 142: let us pray 🙏🏽- It’s true, I pour out all my complaints to You, all my complaints. A grocery list. A laundry list. An Amazon wish list of complaints. I tell You most of my troubles. Then I try to hide like You don’t know. When my spirit languishes, guide me back. Bring me home
6:53 Back = Morning Prayer Psalm 142 Voce mea ad Dominus BCP p. 798 6 7 cry to the LorD with my voice; * to the LorD I make loud supplication. I pour out my complaint before him * and tell him all my trouble. When my spirit languishes within me, you know my path; * in the way wherein I walk they have hidden a trap for me. I look to my right hand and find no one who knows me; * I have no place to flee to, and no one cares for me. I cry out to you, O LorD; * I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Listen to my cry for help, for I have been brought very low; * save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me. Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your Name; * when you have dealt bountifully with me, the righteous will gather around me. Praise to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

This is the best of #Church & best of #America. On #Thanksgiving at the Cathedral Church of St Paul in #Boston, the #Muslims cook the meal, #Christians bring the pies and we all serve the unhoused community with dignity. We pray and sing and feast. There is enough when we share.

Praying with Deuteronomy 26: let us pray 🙏🏽- Remind us, O Lord, to bring our first fruits before You. Remind us, we are in a land of milk and honey. Our ancestors were wandering Arameans, were enslaved, immigrants and indigenous. Make us Your people. Make us generous and thankful. Make us Yours. Amen
8:22 つ < Back Morning Prayer and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the LoRD your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. 3 You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, "Today I declare to the LorD your God that I have come into the land that the LorD swore to our ancestors to give us." 4 When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the LORD your God, S you shall make this response before the LoRD your God: "A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, we cried to the LorD, the God of our ancestors; the LorD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. *The LorD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; 9 and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. ° So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O LoRD, have given me." You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the LORD your God. " Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the LoRD your God has given to you and to your house.

Praying with Psalm 119- let us pray 🙏🏽- Ok but FRFR God, I’m not calling with my whole heart; I’ve got one eye on You and another on my phone, the news and my own crazy. I’m calling You early in the morning mostly because I can’t sleep. Let’s fix this. Give me life. Give me life abundant. Give me God
7:19 Back 100 Morning Prayer Psalm 119: Qoph Clamavi in toto corde meo BCP p. 775 cau with my whole heart; * answer me, O LorD, that I may keep your statutes. 146 I call to you; oh, that you would save me! * I will keep your decrees. 147 Early in the morning I cry out to you, * 148 for in your word is my trust. My eyes are open in the night watches, * that I may meditate upon your promise. 149 Hear my voice, O LORD, according to your loving-kindness; * according to your judgments, give me life. 15o They draw near who in malice persecute me; 151 152 they are very far from your law. You, O LORD, are near at hand, * and all your commandments are true. Long have I known from your decrees * that you have established them for ever.

Praying with Psalm 121: let us pray 🙏🏽- yes, my help comes from the Lord, so if You want to take control now that would be great. You who do not sleep? I’m not sleeping either. I seem to think I alone keep the world spinning with my anxiety. Take over, God. You alone made heaven and earth, not me.
Psalm 121 Levavi oculum BCP p. 779 Lift up my eyes to the hills; * from where is my help to come? 2 My help comes from the LoRD, * the maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot be moved * and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. 4 Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel * shall neither slumber nor sleep; 5 The LorD himself watches over you; * the LorD is your shade at your right hand. 6 So that the sun shall not strike you by day, * nor the moon by night. 7 The LorD shall preserve you from all evil; * it is he who shall keep you safe. 8 The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, * from this time forth for evermore.

Praying with Psalm 106: Let us pray 🙏🏽-Oh God, I know I forget the ways You save me. Forgive me, Lord. Thank You for not giving me everything I want. I have been lean and not, so make my soul thick with Your mercy right now. I’m gnawing on my own cruelty. I eat my own shame. Feed me with Your love.
Back = = Morning Prayer • We have sinned as our forebears did; * we have done wrong and dealt wickedly. In Egypt they did not consider your marvelous works, nor remember the abundance of your love; * 8 they defied the Most High at the Red Sea. But he saved them for his Name's sake, * to make his power known. 9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, * and he led them through the deep as through a desert. 10 He saved them from the hand of those who hated them * and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. The waters covered their oppressors;* not one of them was left. 12 Then they believed his words * and sang him songs of praise. But they soon forgot his deeds * and did not wait for his counsel. A craving seized them in the wilderness, and they put God to the test in the desert. 15 He gave them what they asked, * but sent leanness into their soul. 16 They envied Moses in the camp, * and Aaron, the holy one of the LoRD. 17 The earth opened and swallowed Dathan* and covered the company of Abiram. 18 Fire blazed up against their company, * and flames devoured the wicked.

Praying with Jeremiah 23: Let us pray 🙏🏽- Woe to the shepherds, O Lord who scatter the sheep. Yes. And I’m feeling a lot like one of Your lost flock these days. Come and get me, God. Too many wolves and not enough shepherds out here. You say “no longer fear and dismay.” When is that day coming, Lord?
6:43 'Back The First Reading 100 Eucharist Jeremiah 23:1-6 A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah. Wo to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the Lord. 3 Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. 41 will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall no longer fear or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the Lord. The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: "The Lord is our righteousness." Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people. Thanks be to God.

Praying with Psalm 102: Let us pray 🙏🏽- Oh Lord, you love broken things. Your servants love even the rubble of Zion. Love the broken parts in me. Love the brokenness I cannot even describe. You are moved to pity even for dust and to dust I shall return. Repair Your Creation. Love broken things.
8:27 < Back E Morning Prayer 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23| 24| You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to have mercy upon her; * indeed, the appointed time has come. For your servants love her very rubble, * and are moved to pity even for her dust. The nations shall fear your Name, O LORD, * and all the kings of the earth your glory. For the Lord will build up Zion, and his glory will appear. He will look with favor on the prayer of the homeless; * he will not despise their plea. Let this be written for a future generation, * so that a people yet unborn may praise the LorD. For the LorD looked down from his holy place on high; * from the heavens he beheld the earth; That he might hear the groan of the captive and set free those condemned to die; That they may declare in Zion the Name of the LORD, * and his praise in Jerusalem; When the peoples are gathered together, * and the kingdoms also, to serve the LorD. He has brought down my strength before my time; * he has shortened the number of my days; And I said, "O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my davs. *

Search for the LORD and his strength; * continually seek his face. Remember the marvels he has done, * his wonders and the judgments of his mouth, O offspring of Abraham his servant, * O children of Jacob his chosen. He is the LorD our God; * his judgments prevail in all the world. He has always been mindful of his covenant, the promise he made for a thousand generations: The covenant he made with Abraham, * the oath that he swore to Isaac,

Praying with Psalm 101: let us pray 🙏🏽- it’s 11am and I’m just praying morning prayer now. Forgive me. I strive to follow a blameless course. Lots of striving over here. Refocus me on what is good, just, and true. Set my heart first on You, then let me attend to the rest.
11:01 •A LTE 83 Back Morning Prayer Psalm 1or Misericordiam ed judicium BCP p. 730 7 WiLL sing of mercy and justice; to you, O LoRD, will I sing praises. I will strive to follow a blameless course; oh, when will you come to me? * I will walk with sincerity of heart within my house. I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the doers of evil deeds; they shall not remain with me. A crooked heart shall be far from me; * I will not know evil. Those who in secret slander their neighbors I will destroy; * those who have a haughty look and a proud heart I cannot abide. My eyes are upon the faithful in the land that they may dwell with me, and only those who lead a blameless life shall be my servants. Those who act deceitfully shall not dwell in my house, * and those who tell lies shall not continue in my sight. I will soon destroy all the wicked in the land, * that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the LORD.
