Acts 18:9-10


9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision:
“Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack
and harm you, because I have many people in this city.”



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,
we thank you for all you have done for us, for all you are doing for us,
for deliverance from need and death. We thank you for all the signs
you give us that you hear our prayer when, without wavering or
weakening, we set our hopes on you. We thank you that we can be
without fear of sin and death, for you stand by us in everything.
In spite of our imperfections you show us your goodness again and
again. May the light in our hearts never be extinguished, the light
that enables us to look into heaven and earth and see the good
that is on its way to us today. May joy remain with us, and may
we have the strength to be a community that follows the paths
of life which bring praise and honor to you.

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

Amen

[Charon]

In Jesus name, amen and amen.

Isaiah 6:8


8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,
our Father in heaven and on earth, we are thankful that you have
a people to whom you say, "You are mine." Grant that we too
may belong to this people. Strengthen us in the faith that we
belong to you, so that we can come to know your rule and your
justice. Protect us on all the paths we follow during our time on
earth. The times are evil, but come what may, every single one
of us has in his heart the certainty, "We are yours." You have
long watched over us and kept us safe. Again and again we affirm,
"We are yours, Lord our God, through Jesus Christ our Savior."

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

Amen

[Charon]

We are Yours, Lord. Love Isaiah. Here I am Lord, Send me!

Amen and Amen.

Acts 4:18-20


18 Then they called them in again and
commanded them not to speak or teach at all
in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John replied,
“Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you,
or to him? You be the judges!
20 As for us, we cannot help speaking
about what we have seen and heard.”



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,
you are our Father, and we human beings know that
our innermost hearts belong to you. Hold us firmly
through your Spirit, we pray, so that we do not live
on the level of our lower natures but remain true to
the calling you have given us, the high calling to
what is eternal. May all our experiences work in us
for good, bringing us the joyful certainty that you
rule us with your Spirit, that you further the good
everywhere in the world and make more and more
people sensitive to what is good, right, and perfect.

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

Amen

[Charon]

In Jesus name, amen and amen.

Amos 5:23 - 24


23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,
strengthen in us all that comes from you and is eternal,
all that is good and right and genuine. Let this shape
our outward life and help us triumph over need and
death. Help us to wait quietly, even when we don't
know the answers to our questions, because we are
certain that the outcome will be good and life-giving,
to the glory of your Spirit and your name. We entrust
ourselves to your hands. Stay with us, that we may
receive your calling for our lives. Stay with us, so that
in all our work and activity we may be aware of your
guiding Spirit at work in our hearts.

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

Amen

Hebrews 12:1 - 2


1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great
cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders
and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with
perseverance the race marked out for us,
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter
of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of
the throne of God.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,
grant us true unity with your Son Jesus Christ, so that his power
can be revealed in us and we may find new life in which we can
truly serve you. Protect us from all error. Be among us with your
Spirit to make us people who are genuine. Let your will be carried
out more and more in this age. Let your will again intervene so
that a new creation may come, a new heaven and a new earth,
as we have been promised. May your name be great among us,
may your kingdom come and everything in heaven and on earth
be done according to your will.

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

Amen

Today's Prayer...


Almighty God,
keep watch over us and lead us fully into the life of Jesus Christ.
Let your Son Jesus Christ become truly living within us so that
we may be full of joy because we belong to the realm of heaven
and may live every day with faith in him. We thank you for all
you have let us experience. We thank you with all our hearts
that in your great compassion you have showered so much good
on us who are not yet perfect in faith. Keep our hearts in the light,
we pray. Keep us patient and dedicated, for then more and more
can be done among us poor children of earth,
to the glory of your name.
