Psalm 62 : 1-8
KJV


1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?
ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be,
and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:
they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation:
he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory:
the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people,
pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We are Your children,
and we look to You and to Your help at every turn of our lives.
Remember us, especially when we want to serve You.
Stay with us with Your Spirit so that everything may
work out to further Your kingdom and the victory of Jesus Christ,
which is to be proclaimed on earth.
Through His victory all people shall find in Him
their Savior and look to You, our Father in heaven.
Yes, Father in heaven,
have mercy on the world,
on the many who are unfortunate and who suffer from
the widespread evil around them.
Remember them.
Have mercy on us through the
strong and mighty Lord, Jesus Christ.


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

Amen

1 Corinthians 12 : 1-13
KJV


1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles,
carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand,
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:
and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations,
but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit;
to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues;
to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body, being many,
are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free;
and have been all made to drink into one Spirit
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We bow before You,
before You to whom all power is given.
We will love you, O Lord.
We will treasure You.
Your thoughts shall be our thoughts,
that we may learn how You are named in heaven,
on earth, and below the earth.
Watch over us and be with us until You can come,
until the time is fulfilled when You will appear among us
and establish God’s kingdom.
Then the whole world will rejoice and all people
will bend their knees before You,
the one Lord and Savior.


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

Amen

1 Peter 1 : 13-21
KJV


13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you
at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14 As obedient children,
not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15 But as he which hath called you is holy,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17 And if ye call on the Father,
who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work,
pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were
not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the
foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God,
that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory;
that your faith and hope might be in God.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You as Your children,
whom You know how to gather.
You have brought us into community with You in a wonderful way,
in the midst of a world full of unrest, full of misery, and full of sin.
For You know Your children and lead them into community with You.
You comfort them.
You give them strength of faith,
and confidence in Your rulership and Your kingdom,
which will prevail over everything evil and deathly
that still seems to control humankind.
But your dominion reaches far, far beyond.
You will keep us in your hands.
For the sake of those who trust in You,
You will send your grace and Your help into the whole world.


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

Amen

Proverbs 2 : 10-22
KJV


10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart,
and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee,
understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,
from the man that speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness,
to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil,
and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked,
and they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,
even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth,
and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto death,
and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again,
neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,
and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land,
and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth,
and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Light of the world and light of our human life,
we thank You for sending Your Word into our hearts.
Your Word works within us and allows us to rejoice.
Even if we often experience hard and bitter times here on earth,
we can rejoice already, as the world shall rejoice when
Your will and Your Word are fulfilled.
Protect us, and keep us pure and free in spirit,
that we may be Your servants,
that we may sometimes be allowed to say a little word
in harmony with the great,
powerful Word which You have sent into the world.


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

Amen

1 Corinthians 16 : 15-24
KJV


15 I beseech you, brethren,
(ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia,
and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
16 That ye submit yourselves unto such,
and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus:
for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours:
therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
19 The churches of Asia salute you.
Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord,
with the church that is in their house.
20 All the brethren greet you.
Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
21 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ,
let him be Anathema Maranatha.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
Amen.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Grant that we may share in the community of Your Holy Spirit.
In community with You our earthly troubles fall away
and we remain in Your peace in spite of all our failures
and shortcomings, in spite of all the toil we must gladly
take upon ourselves.
Watch over us.
Keep our hearts unshaken, clear, and steady.
Keep us in the certainty that Your kingdom is coming,
is already beginning and can be plainly seen,
so that all people can receive the good You have planned for them.
Be with us this night.


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

Amen

Philippians 4 : 1-9
KJV


1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for,
my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche,
that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow,
help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also,
and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men.
The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned,
and received, and heard, and seen in me, do:
and the God of peace shall be with you.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You for the gift of Your light in our hearts,
allowing us to have faith in You.
We thank You for your light,
which shows us the many ways You save us from need,
darkness, and death.
In the midst of this darkness You keep our hearts safe
so that we can be faithful until Your time comes,
the time when You will reveal Yourself to the world,
and when all voices will cry out as one,
“Yes, Father in heaven, we thank You.
You have redeemed us all.”


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

Amen
