Matthew 11 : 29-30
KJV


20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein
most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida!
for if the mighty works, which were done in you,
had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you,
It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon
at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell:
for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you,
That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom
in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said,
I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father:
and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We come before You as Your children,
longing to be assured through Your Spirit that
we are and may remain Your children.
We long to live to the glory of Your name under
the shelter and guidance of the Lord Jesus
in expectation of the great day which shall fulfill
all promises made to us.
Strengthen us, especially in dark and troubled days.
Help us when danger threatens and when
evil tries to make headway among us.
Deliver us from all evil,
for Yours is the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory for ever and ever."


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

Amen

James 4 : 1-10
KJV


1 From whence come wars and fightings among you?
come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have,
and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not,
because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain,
The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,
but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and he shall lift you up.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

You are help, comfort,
and life to us in everything we have to endure.
We gather before You as poor, weak people,
but You can make us rich and give us new life
so that our lives prove we hold to Your will and
to the justice You bring on earth.
May we be one in spirit through all we experience
in our hearts, to the glory of Your name.
May the praise and thanks of many people ring
out into all the world because You are help
and deliverance from all evil."


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

Amen

Psalm 62 : 1-12
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.
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity,
and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance,
they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10 Trust not in oppression,
and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase,
set not your heart upon them.
11 God hath spoken once;
twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12 Also unto thee, O Lord,
belongeth mercy:
for thou renderest to every man according to his work.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We come into Your presence as imperfect,
sinful children, who do many foolish things
and who are involved in much that is evil and corrupt.
We come to You, Father,
knowing that Your fatherly love is with us through
all eternity. Be gracious to us and free us from
all the harm and injury we are bound to suffer in
this earthly life.
May the grace Your kingdom brings on earth
finally blot out the sins of all people,
so that as Your children they may rejoice
because You have helped them.
May Your name be praised among all people."


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

Amen
