“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.” — Psalm 4:8
“…for he gives to his beloved sleep.” — Psalm 127:2
The Word · one chapter
Seven minutes, three movements: prepare · the Word · ACTS. A quiet ring keeps the time so you don’t have to.
If the chapter moved you toward something: what would someone observe you doing, and by when? It expires in 72 hours — and “nothing right now” is always a valid answer.
O Lord, open thou our lips.
And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. (1 Peter 1:3)
A moment of silence.
Our Father… (pray it slowly)
Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Adoration — praise Him for who He is.
Confession — agree with God about what you’ve done.
Thanksgiving — name specific things, even in hardship.
Supplication — ask for others first, then yourself.
Today’s floor psalm: — read it aloud. That counts, fully.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in 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, for ever. Amen.MATTHEW 6:9–13
