1 Timothy 2 : 1-6

   
1 I exhort therefore, that,
first of all,
supplications,
prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks,
be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for
all that are in authority;
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life 

in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,
to be testified in due time.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

In the name of Jesus Christ,
who is close at our side as the risen and living One,
we lift our eyes to you in prayer.
Bless us.
Bless us through your Word,
and let our hearts become quiet in you.
Free us from all restlessness and from the turmoil of the present age,
for we belong to you,
not to the world.
We want to find peace in you and remain in you.
You will care for us as your children,
whom you will never forget in all eternity.
Bless us and renew the riches of your grace in us every day,
for you, O Lord our God,
remain our Father.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

Acts 22 : 13-16

   
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me,
Brother Saul, receive thy sight.
And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14 And he said,
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
that thou shouldest know his will,
and see that Just One,
and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men
of what thou hast seen and heard.
16 And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized,
and wash away thy sins,
calling on the name of the Lord.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Grant your peace in our hearts.
Grant that we may be your children,
allowed to serve you in true peace through the forgiveness of sins.
Turn your eyes to the world and its sin,
that something new may come for all who are deeply unhappy,
groaning under the anguish of their lives.
Your mercy is great, your compassion is beyond measure.
For Jesus Christ’s sake you will bring into the world the
salvation that is promised.
You will bring the great day of Jesus Christ the Savior,
who has shed his blood for us.
He can come to those now in need and misery,
bringing his peace and his power into their hearts
so that even death turns into life and everything
serves your praise and glory,
Lord our God and Father in heaven.
Bless us and bless our nation.
May life from heaven grow in those who understand you
and who are to be your people.
May your will be done, Lord God,
until your kingdom comes in its fullness and
all the world may see that Jesus Christ is the Lord,
to your glory,
O God our Father.



In the Name of the Most Holy we

I know I'm slow, but when did our
currency turn it's back to God

Back before I was ever even thought of
they used to use my G-Paw's creek to baptize
folks ...

This song just brings back those memories
as told to me by my G-Mother and her Mother...

Romans 8 : 1-8

   
1 There is therefore now no condemnation 

to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.




Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We thank you for all you reveal in your creation
so that our lives may be fruitful.
Reveal your wisdom and strength among people
everywhere so that death and destruction do not have their way,
but your will,
your love,
your mercy shall prevail.
Let our age learn that power belongs to you and not to men,
and that you will at last fulfill all your promises of good.
Your day of justice and holiness will break in,
and all misery will be removed through your great mercy.
Watch over us as you have done till this hour,
and keep us safe during the night.
Be present and carry out your will wherever there is misfortune.
May your will be done on earth as in heaven.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
