Tuesday Lauds Morning Prayer 4th Week Lent SeasonJoel Daniel 3The prayer of Azariah in the furnaceO Lord, do not withdraw your favor from us.Blessed are you, Lord God of our fathers:your name is glorious foreverfor you are just in all you have done to us.For we have sinned and done wrong, we have deserted youand done all things wrong.Do not give us up forever, for your name’s sake we beg you,do not dissolve your covenant.Take not your loving kindness from us,for the sake of Abraham, your beloved;and Isaac your servant,and Israel your holy one.You told them you would multiply their seedlike the stars of the skylike the sand on the shores of the sea.But we, Lord, are made the least of all nations.Today we are brought low over all the earthon account of our sins.Today there is no princeno prophet, no leader,no holocaust, no sacrifice.No offering, no incense,no first fruits offered to you– no way to obtain your mercy.But in our contrite souls,in a spirit of humility,accept us, Lord.Like a holocaust of rams and bulls,like fat sheep in their thousands,let our sacrifice be like these before you today.Bring to fruition the quest of those who follow you,for those who trust in you can never be confounded.And now we follow you with all our heartand we revere you and seek your face.Glory be to the Father and to the Sonand to the Holy Spirit,as it was in the beginning,is now, and ever shall be,world without end.Amen.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/frankietheone1/message
