Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Having risen from sleep we worship You, O Good One, and we sing with the angels and the living creatures (the seraphim and the cherubim), a hymn to You: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, the all-powerful God, who was and is and is coming!” (Revelation 4:8)
The Jesus Prayer
O Lord Jesus (Yeshua) Christ (the Messiah), Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Lord, Have Mercy (Kyrie Eleison)
Lord, have mercy, Christ (the Messiah) have mercy, Lord have mercy. (Luke 18:13)
I am nothing without you. I can’t do anything apart from you. I have no goodness of my own. I need you. I want you. I am desperate for you every moment of every day. Whatever I face today, whether poverty or plenty, in any situation: I can do all things through Christ (the Messiah) who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
You created my innermost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:13;16) You care for me. I am precious to You, made in Your image with honor. (Matthew 6:26; Psalms 8:4-5) You love me. (Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:9-10)
Morning Sacrifice – stand facing east toward Jerusalem and the future Temple (burn incense, light a candle, ring a bell, or sound a trumpet/shofar; have wine/juice and cracker/matzo ready)
Hear (Shema)
Listen and obey, Israel! The Lord is our God, The Lord alone! So love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you’re at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning. Write down copies and tie them to your wrists and foreheads to help you obey them. Write these laws on the door frames of your homes and on your town gates… I command you to love others as much as you love yourself. I am the Lord. (Deut. 6:4-9; Lev. 19:18; Luke 10:27 CEV)
The Lord’s Prayer – Expanded
Forgive all our debts in that year of Jubilee; Wipe our crimes clean against Your Majesty; Heal the sick, set the prisoners free; The punishment of death, throw into the fiery sea
Sacrificial Gift (Korbanot)
Master of the Worlds, You commanded Israel to bring the daily offering at its appointed time; and have the priests perform their service, and the Levites to sing and play music on the platform. And now, because of Your covenant discipline, the Holy Temple is destroyed, and the daily offering discontinued; we have neither a priest at his service, nor a Levite on his platform, nor an Israelite at his station.
Think of my prayer as sweet-smelling incense, and think of my lifted hands as an evening (or morning) sacrifice. (Psalm 141:2 CEV)
Restore the service to the inner sanctuary of your Temple, and receive in love and with favor both the fire-offerings of Israel and their prayers.
Please be willing, Lord, to help the city of Zion and to rebuild its walls. Then you will be pleased with the proper sacrifices, and we will offer bulls on your altar once again. (Psalm 51:18-19)
The Great Thanksgiving (Eucharist)
All glory be unto You, Almighty God, our Father in heaven, for You, of Your tender mercy, did give your only Son Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah to suffer death on the cross for our redemption; who made there by His one oblation of himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of his precious death and sacrifice, until His coming again. Amen.
Confession of Sin & Absolution
Let us bow and humbly confess our sins to Almighty God:
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.
Take a moment to confess individual sins that come to mind.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repent and with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon us, pardon and deliver us from all your sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to everlasting life; through Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah our Lord. Amen.
We hear the words of our Lord, “Your sins are forgiven. Go: and sin no more.”
Blessing over the Wine (raise the cup and recite)
We bless You, O Lord our God, King of the universe, Who creates the fruit of the vine. As we drink let us be filled with the knowledge of your sacrifice that our deeds may imitate the One who offers forgiveness through His blood; Who has given us the Way to deliverance from the wrath to come in Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah. Amen.
Blessing over the Bread (raise the bread or cracker and break)
We bless You, O Lord our God, King of the universe, Who brings forth bread from the earth. We give you thanks, our Father, for the life and knowledge which You made known to us through Your Son Jesus (Yeshua). Yours is the glory forever and ever. As this broken bread was scattered upon the mountains (as seed) and gathered together as one bundle of wheat, so may Your assembly be gathered together from the ends of the earth into Your kingdom. For Yours is the glory and the power through Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah forever and ever. Amen. (Didache)
Song of a Biblical Text
Tobit
Praise the eternal God, praise the one who rules. He punishes us; then he shows us mercy. He sends us down to the world of the dead, then he brings us up from the grave. No one can escape his power. People of Israel, give thanks among the nations, where he sent you into exile; even there he showed his great power.
Let all who live hear your praise. The Lord is our God and father forever. Though he punished you for your wickedness, he will be merciful and bring you home from among the nations where he scattered you. Turn to him with all your heart and soul, live in loyal obedience to him. Then he will turn to you to help you and will no longer hide himself.
Remember what God has done for you, and give thanks with all your heart. Praise the righteous Lord; honor the eternal King. Although I live in exile in a foreign land, I will give thanks to the Lord and will speak of his great strength to a nation of sinners.
Turn away from your sins, and do what pleases God! Perhaps he will be gracious and show you his mercy. I praise my God and rejoice in his greatness; my whole being honors the King of heaven. Let everyone tell of his greatness and sing his praises in Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Holy City of our God, he will punish you for the sins of your people, but he will be merciful to all who do right.
So give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. Praise the eternal King. Your Temple will be rebuilt, and your people will be happy again. May the Lord make all your exiles glad, may he take care of your suffering people for as long as time shall last.
Jerusalem, your light will shine brightly for all the world, and from far away many nations will come to you. Their people will come to honor the Lord your God, they will bring gifts for the King of heaven. In your streets many generations will sing joyful praise, your name will endure forever as God’s chosen city.
A curse will be on all who make threats against you, on all who destroy you and tear down your walls, on all who demolish your towers and burn your homes. But all who honor you will be blessed forever. Rejoice, Jerusalem, because of your righteous people; they will be gathered together from exile to praise the Lord of the ages.
Happy are all who love you and are pleased to see you prosper. Those who mourn over your suffering now will one day be happy; your happiness will bring them joy forever. I praise the Lord, the great King; Jerusalem will be rebuilt and will be his home forever. Jerusalem, how happy I will be when my descendants can see your splendor and give thanks to the King of heaven.
Your gates will be built with sapphires and emeralds, and all your walls with precious stones. Your towers will be made of gold, and their fortifications of pure gold. Your streets will be paved with rubies and precious jewels. Joyful songs will ring out from your gates, and from all your houses people will shout,
Praise the Lord! Praise the God of Israel! Jerusalem, God will bless your people, and they will praise his holy name forever. (Tobit 13:1-18)

Scripture Prayer – Consecration
I pray that your love will keep on growing and you will fully know and understand how to make the right choices. Then you will still be pure and innocent when Christ (the Messiah) returns.

Pray this scripture for yourself and specific names of others.
Lord, Provide Comfort and Strength (Hal Libba Marya)
Comfort, O Lord, those sitting in sadness, who are grieved by the death of their loved one. Bitter death has broken the body, guarded in the grave until the coming of Christ (the Messiah). There it now awaits, to be glorified by good deeds, at the resurrection of the dead. Take away, O Jesus (Yeshua) Christ (the Messiah), the veil of darkness from the sorrowing heart of our earthbound race.
Receive, O Lord, this offering, which is offered by your servants, O Merciful One. O Jesus (Yeshua) the Savior, you sacrificed yourself, and in your human nature you received suffering. The cup of bitterness, of death, you drank. You taught us the hope in the resurrection.
Prayer for Protection
O Lord, Lover of men, and by Your loving-kindness I strive to do Your work today, and I ask You: help us at all times, in everything, and deliver us from every evil grief and distress of heart, and every attack of the devil, surround us by Your holy angels, that we may be guarded and guided, and lead me into Your eternal Kingdom. For You are my Creator, the Giver and Provider of everything good, and all my hope is in You, and to You I send up glory, now and forever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Come, Creator Spirit (Veni Creator Spiritus)
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator come, from your bright heavenly throne! Come, take possession of our souls, and make them all your own. Far from us drive our hellish foe, true peace unto us bring, and through all perils guide us safe beneath your sacred wing. Through you may we the Father know, through you the eternal Son and you the Spirit of them both, three times blessed, three in One.
Benediction
Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.” (Revelation 22:14)

Do you renounce Satan and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God?

We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it Your Son Jesus (Yeshua) received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy Spirit as the Messiah, to lead us, through his death and resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life.
We thank you, Father, for the water of baptism. In it we are buried with the Messiah in His death. By it we will share in His bodily resurrection, and will be reborn by the Holy Spirit. We receive now a deposit of the powers of that coming age. Therefore in joyful obedience to Your Son, we bring into His fellowship those who come to HIm in faith, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Now set apart this water, we pray, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that those who are cleansed from sin may continue forever unto the risen life of Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah our Savior. Amen.

In the past, you treated us with such kindness, that we now beg you to stop being so terribly angry with Jerusalem.

I am your servant, Lord God, and I beg you to answer my prayers and bring honor to yourself by having pity on your temple that lies in ruins. Please show mercy to your chosen city, not because we deserve it, but because of your great kindness. Forgive us! Hurry and do something, not only for your city and your chosen people, but to bring honor to yourself. (Da 9:16–19 CEV)
