Deuteronomy 6 : 13-18

   
13 Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God,
and serve him,
and shalt swear by his name.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods,
of the gods of the people which are round about you;
15 (For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you)
lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee,
and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God,
as ye tempted him in Massah.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments
of the Lord your God,
and his testimonies, and his statutes,
which he hath commanded thee.
18 And thou shalt do that which is
right and good in the sight of the Lord:
that it may be well with thee,
and that thou mayest go in and possess
the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers.




Today's Prayer...



Father in heaven,,

Through Your Spirit help us to live in love to You.
Open our eyes to see Your goodness and truth
surrounding us Your children,
even in this troubled world.
We look to You, Almighty Father.
Protect us in these difficult times.
We plead for our country,
entrusting it to Your care so that love to
You may be awakened.
Where shall we turn except to You?
Where shall we find help except in Jesus Christ,
whom You have sent to us to win the victory,
to subdue and end all evil in heaven, on earth,
and under the earth,
and to become Lord,
to the glory of Your name.



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

Amen

John 14 : 1

   
1 Let not your heart be troubled:
ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know,
and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord,
we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
7 If ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him,
and have seen him.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,,

We gather together in your presence and ask you
to let your light shine in our hearts to strengthen us
in times of need and trouble.
May we come to know that through all the storms
and distress of the world,
you are mighty in protecting and sheltering those who trust in you.
May we realize the power of your kingdom.
Even if all the kingdoms of the world rise in rebellion,
you are with us.
You are with those who have set their hope on your kingdom
and who go on hoping that even in evil days something
must happen through your great and holy rule.



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

Amen

Hebrews 10 : 22-30

   
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith
without wavering; ( for he is faithful that promised; )
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto
love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:
and so much the more,
as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,
which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died
without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye,
shall he be thought worthy,
who hath trodden under foot the Son of God,
and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing,
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said,
Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense,
saith the Lord.
And again,
The Lord shall judge his people.




Today's Prayer...



Lord God,,

We come before you and ask you
to turn our hearts and minds to you alone,
to you who have power over the whole world and
who can do everything in our hearts according to your will.
Let there be light in our time.
Hear and answer the many prayers that have
already come to you,
rising for centuries before your throne,
prayers for your kingdom and for your will on earth.
This earth has become the prey of evil.
We are poor and needy,
and you alone can help us.
Help us, O Lord, our God and Father.
After this misery let your day come,
your great day over all the world and over all peoples.



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

Amen

Psalm 18 : 1-8

   
1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer; my God, my strength,
in whom I will trust; my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the Lord,
who is worthy to be praised:
so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:
the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,
and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple,
and my cry came before him,
even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled;
the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken,
because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
and fire out of his mouth devoured:
coals were kindled by it.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,,

Our Father in heaven,
be with us as we are gathered here.
Through your Spirit let our hearts grow in understanding
of how we can serve you rightly and live as you want us to live.
Help us hold fast to all that is good.
Free us more and more from everything that hinders us,
from all that is evil.
Show your loving-kindness to us and to our loved ones,
wherever they may be.
Hear every human heart that sighs to you,
pleading that what is of heaven may
overcome what is of earth.



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

Amen

Matthew 6 : 4-8

   
4 That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
for they love to pray standing in the
synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward.
6 But thou,
when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray,
use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
before ye ask him.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,,

Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
who encourages and strengthens us in all distress,
we thank you for turning our suffering into a pathway to life,
so that we may be thankful and trusting through everything.
You can change what we find hardest into what is best for us.
Praise to your name that a way through sin and death is given to us.
Praise to your name that you have shown us a way through all evil,
a way that is blest.



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

Amen
