Good morning, happy Friday. We understand that today is Good Friday. We thank the Lord for all that he has done, for his sacrifice for us, and even throughout the day, I encourage you to take time to remember the sacrifice, the greatness of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. And so we're going to have our scripture and declaration and then, following, I will turn the floor over to Pastor Mark for morning prayer. So our scripture for this morning is Lamentations, the third chapter, verse 22 through 23. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Again, the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. And our declaration is God loves me and his love and mercy never end. He created new mercy for me this morning. It is a brand new day and I have a brand new start. Amen. And I'm going to turn the floor over to Pastor Mark for prayer.
Speaker 2:Father, god, in the name of Jesus, lord, we thank you for another day. Oh God, we thank you because you woke us up to see another day. Oh God, we thank you because it wasn't by any goodness of our own, but, god, it was because you are good, because you're good all the time, lord, it was because of your grace and mercy. We thank you, oh God, for your grace and mercy that brought us through, oh God, that allowed us to see another day, that allowed us to wake up with the activities of our limbs, that allowed us to wake up, oh God. And when we opened up our mouth to talk, oh Lord, our voice came out.
Speaker 2:Lord, we thank you, oh God, because you're good. We thank you, oh God, because you're worthy. We thank you, oh God, because you're worthy of the glory and the honor.

Speaker 2:Oh God, we can only imagine, oh God, what life would be like, oh God, had we not found you. Oh God, I thank you, oh God, because I know, oh God, had I not found you, my life would be over, oh God, I wouldn't live to see today, oh God, but I thank you, oh God, because you're so good, oh Lord.
