Prayers for this week:

Morning:

O Lord, prepare me for all the events of the day;
for I know not what a day may bring forth.
Give me grace to deny myself;
to take up my cross daily,
and to follow in the steps for my Lord and Master.
Amen.
-- Matthew Henry (1662-1714)

Evening:

O heavenly Father,
preserve me from all cold and speculative views
of Thy blessed Gospel;
and while with regular constancy I kneel down daily before Thee,
do not fail to light up the fire
of heavenly love in my bosom,
and to draw my heart heavenward
with earnest longings to Thyself.
Amen
-- Henry Kirke White (1785-1806)
