Psalm 25:8-15 NIV

Good and upright is the Lord;
  therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right
  and teaches them his way.
All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
  for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
For the sake of your name, O Lord,
  forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord?
  He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
He will spend his days in prosperity,
  and his descendants will inherit the land.
The Lord confides in those who fear him;
  he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever on the Lord,
  for only he will release my feet from the snare.

Midday Prayer

To your name, Lord Jesus,
help me to bow the knee
and all its worshiping,
bow the head
and all its thinking,
bow the will
and all its choosing,
bow the heart
and all its loving.
Amen.

John 11:38-44 NIV

Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. “Take away the stone,” he said.

“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.

Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
