Prayers - Clement of Rome

Partakers Friday Prayers!

 

We pray together and when Christians pray together, including across the internet and from different times, different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity!

You, Lord, through your works have revealed the everlasting structure of the world.
You, Lord, created the earth.
You are faithful throughout all generations,
righteous in your judgments,
marvellous in strength and majesty,
wise in creating and prudent in establishing what exists,
good in all that is observed and faithful to those who trust in you,
merciful and compassionate;
forgive us our sins and our injustices, our transgressions and our shortcomings.
Do not take into account every sin of your servants,
but cleanse us with the cleansing of your truth,
and "direct our steps to walk in holiness and righteousness and purity of heart,"
and "to do what is good and pleasing in your sight"
and in the sight of our rulers.
Yes, Lord, "let your face shine upon us" in peace "for our good,"
that we may be sheltered "by your mighty hand"
and delivered from every sin "by your uplifted arm";
deliver us as well from those who hate us unjustly.

Give harmony and peace to us and to all who dwell on the earth,
just as you did to our fathers when they reverently "called upon you in faith and trust,"
that we may be saved,
while we render obedience to your almighty and most excellent name,
and give harmony and peace to our rulers and governors on earth.
Amen

(Taken from Clement of Rome in a letter to the church in Corinth around AD96)

1 Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty,

ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Worship Yahweh in holy array.

3 Yahweh's voice is on the waters.

The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.

Yahweh's voice is full of majesty.

5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars.

Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

7 Yahweh's voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 Yahweh's voice shakes the wilderness.

Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Partakers Prayers - A prayer of Martin Luther

Partakers Prayers

 

Today on Partakers we are praying together a prayer of Martin Luther! As you listen to these words, make them your own! Come and pray!

Behold, Lord,
I am an empty vessel that needs to be filled.
My Lord, fill it.
I am weak in the faith; strengthen me.
I am cold in love; warm me and make me fervent,
that my love may go out to my neighbour.
I do not have a strong and firm faith;
at times, I doubt and am unable to trust You altogether.

O Lord, help me.
Strengthen my faith and trust in you.
In You I have sealed the treasure of all I have.
I am poor; you are rich and came to be merciful to the poor.
I am a sinner; you are upright.
With me, there is an abundance of sin;
in You is the fullness of righteousness.
Therefore, I will remain with you,
of whom I can receive, but to whom I may not give.
Amen

Psalm On Demand - Psalm 62

Psalm 62

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.

62:1 My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress— I will never be greatly shaken.

62:3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down,

Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

62:4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place.

They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah.

62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

62:7 With God is my salvation and my honor.

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people.

Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

Selah.

62:9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie.

In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

62:10 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery.

If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

62:11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this,

that power belongs to God.

62:12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness,

for you reward every man according to his work.

Psalm On Demand - Psalm 8

Psalm 8

 

¹ O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

² Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings

hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies,

that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider thy heavens,

the work of thy fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which thou hast ordained;

⁴ What is man,

that thou art mindful of him?

and the son of man,

that thou visitest him?

⁵ For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

⁶ Thou madest him to have

dominion over the works of thy hands;

thou hast put all things under his feet:

⁷ All sheep and oxen, yea,

and the beasts of the field;

⁸ The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,

and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord our Lord,

how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Psalm On Demand - Psalm 83

Psalm 83

A song. A Psalm by Asaph.

83:1 God, don’t keep silent. Don’t keep silent, and don’t be still, God.
83:2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.
83:3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.
83:4 “Come,” they say, “and let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
83:5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.
83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
83:7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot.

Selah.

83:9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
83:10 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.
83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
83:12 who said, “Let us take possession of God’s pasturelands.”
83:13 My God, make them like tumbleweed; like chaff before the wind.
83:14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
83:15 so pursue them with your tempest, and terrify them with your storm.
83:16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, Yahweh.
83:17 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
83:18 that they may know that you alone, whose name is Yahweh, are the Most High over all the earth.

Psalm On Demand - Psalm 43

Psalm 43

1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.

Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

2 For you are the God of my strength.

Why have you rejected me?

Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth.

Let them lead me.

Let them bring me to your holy hill,

To your tents.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy.

I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul?

Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God!

For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God

(as read by Anne A)

 

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Is David hiding himself among us?

54:1 Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might.

Violent men have sought after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them.

The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

54:5 He will repay the evil to my enemies.
Destroy them in your truth.

54:6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you.
I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

54:7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
