"I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer
Wednesday, July 5, 2023 - Day 186 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 29:24-32; Psalm 5; Acts 17:22-34)
REJOICE IN THE PROTECTION OF THE LORD
“But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.” (Psalm 5:11 ESV)
Christian song writer Rick Founds gets at what it means to exult in the name of the Lord in this way:
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
You came from Heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us

Almighty God, with great joy I thank You for protecting me from sin, death and the devil by paying my debt on the cross. I will praise You name forever. Amen.
