daily reading 38.2 (Ezra 7:8–10)
5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023
Our opening prayer for this week:
O Lord, you have in your pure grace
Made shine on us a Father’s face:
Arise, your holy name make known;
Take up your power and reign alone;
On earth, in us, let your pure will
Be done as angels do it still.
O King and Father, kind and dread,
Give us this day our daily bread;
Forgive us, who have learned to bless
Our enemies, all trespasses;
Spare us temptation; let us be
From Satan set forever free.
Yours is the kingdom; unto you
We bow the knee in homage true.
And yours the pow’r; no power is there
That stands against you anywhere.
The glory yours; by every tongue
Your praise shall be forever sung! Amen.
