Proverbs 14 : 30-35

   
30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh:
but envy the rottenness of the bones.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker:
but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness:
but the righteous hath hope in his death.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding:
but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but sin is a reproach to any people.
35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant:
but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.




Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,,

We thank you that your voice reaches our hearts
and that we can say with joy,
"We belong to you. We too are yours."
We want to lead lives that show we belong to you,
never allowing ourselves to be sidetracked,
never again giving way to pettiness,
always drawing strength from the power of Jesus Christ.
Protect our household.
Watch over each of us.
Protect us all on our way.
O mighty God,
be with us in the many dangers that surround us,
and grant that we may always be joyful because
our names are recorded in heaven.



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

Amen

1 Samuel 12 : 20-25

   
20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not:
ye have done all this wickedness:
yet turn not aside from following the Lord,
but serve the Lord with all your heart;
21 And turn ye not aside:
for then should ye go after vain things,
which cannot profit nor deliver;
for they are vain.
22 For the Lord will not forsake his people
for his great name's sake:
because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 Moreover as for me,
God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in
ceasing to pray for you:
but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24 Only fear the Lord,
and serve him in truth with all your heart:
for consider how great things he hath done for you.
25 But if ye shall still do wickedly,
ye shall be consumed,
both ye and your king.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,,

We thank you for giving us a strong fortress in Jesus,
the only Lord, with whom we can oppose the whole raging,
hateful, lawless, and cruel world.
Come what may,
we want to hold high the banner of Jesus Christ.
In him we want to wait for the time when your mighty deeds
will fully establish your kingdom for all nations on earth.
You are our God and our Father.
Protect us,
and give light to our hearts so that we can always
be joyful and can hope in you forevermore.



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

2 Corinthians 3 : 12-18

   
12 Seeing then that we have such hope,
we use great plainness of speech:
13 And not as Moses,
which put a veil over his face,
that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look
to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded:
for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken
away in the reading of the old testament;
which vail is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day,
when Moses is read,
the vail is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord,
the vail shall be taken away.
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
18 But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
even as by the Spirit of the Lord.




Today's Prayer...



O Lord God,,

We thank you that in our times we may
feel and see that you are at work.
This is a joy and comfort to us and we take heart,
although the misery on earth sometimes brings us to tears.
We find joy again because you are at work.
You are carrying out your will,
which includes your plan for our life and salvation.
Grant that fruits may appear in our times,
for our times are in your hands.
Grant that many people from all nations may come to you.
May they turn to you in their need and know the
happiness of receiving your help.
May your name be honored,
your kingdom come,
and your will be done on earth as in heaven.



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

Amen

Psalm 19 : 7-14

   
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring for ever:
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea,
than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me:
then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,,

We praise your name because you
have set up a mercy seat on earth,
because you forgive our sins through the blood of Jesus Christ.
May your mercy be seen at work in many hearts.
Shed your light upon all people,
and let your glory be known.
Let your glory shine in all hearts,
to the praise of your name and the deliverance of those
who are still in misery.
Keep us in your Word,
which works miracles.
Protect in us all that Jesus Christ has brought to the earth,
and may we use his gifts in simplicity of heart.
Grant that much may be accomplished to the glory of your name
and that we may draw nearer to the day of Jesus Christ,
for which we wait in hope and longing.



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

Amen

2 Corinthians 4 : 12-18

   
12 So then death worketh in us,
but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith,
according as it is written, I believed,
and therefore have I spoken;
we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus
shall raise up us also by Jesus,
and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes,
that the abundant grace might through the
thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not;
but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen:
for the things which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen are eternal.




Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,,

We love and honor your ways even when they are bitter ways.
We long for courage and strength.
Lord, help us to believe.
Grant faith to the millions surrounded by death,
faith that overcomes everything through utmost self-denial.
Let your light shine out to bring life to the nations
in the midst of all that is happening.
Your light shall lead and guide us,
and peace will come,
a deeper peace than we have ever known.
Remember each of us in all our concerns,
and grant that the struggles of life may lead us to peace.
If hard and bitter ways should be our lot,
help us to remain steadfast,
never complaining about our burdens even in the
most difficult days,
for through grief and trouble
the way leads to you.



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

Amen
