Song of Solomon 4:1 - 7


1 Behold,
thou art fair, my love;
behold, thou art fair;
thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks:
thy hair is as a flock of goats,
that appear from mount Gilead.
2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep
that are even shorn,
which came up from the washing;
whereof every one bear twins,
and none is barren among them.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
and thy speech is comely:
thy temples are like a piece of a
pomegranate within thy locks.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David
builded for an armoury,
whereon there hang a thousand bucklers,
all shields of mighty men.
5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes
that are twins,
which feed among the lilies.
6 Until the day break,
and the shadows flee away,
I will get me to the mountain of myrrh,
and to the hill of frankincense.
7 Thou art all fair,
my love;
there is no spot in thee.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Keep us in the grace that is ours through Jesus Christ.
Uphold others also in this grace.
Reveal yourself everywhere to those who trust in you
and who await your kingdom.
May your blessing be on our household.
We thank you for helping us,
and with your help we want to be faithful to you.
Then when hardships come,
we can be certain of your presence.
We know and trust you.
We know and trust the Savior,
and we know and trust the Holy Spirit,
in whom we can have community and
be strengthened to serve your glory.


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

Amen

John 14:1 - 7


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...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You that even in need and misery we may feel
and know that You are with the weak,
for You are mighty in helping your children.
You give the weak strength to serve you in spite of all
their faults and weaknesses.
Make us glad at heart for everything we are allowed to
do and experience,
because it serves You,
Your glory,
and Your kingdom until the day when
others also are given eyes to see.


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

Amen

Genesis 9:6 - 13


6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood be shed:
for in the image of God made he man.
7 And you,
be ye fruitful,
and multiply;
bring forth abundantly in the earth,
and multiply therein.
8 And God spake unto Noah,
and to his sons with him, saying,
9 And I,
behold,
I establish my covenant with you,
and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you,
of the fowl,
of the cattle,
and of every beast of the earth with you;
from all that go out of the ark,
to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you,
neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood;
neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said,
This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you
and every living creature that is with you,
for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Open the door for us, we pray.
Grant that we may come to you in spirit.
Grant that in you we may find peace and
courage for our whole lives.
Lead us always by your Spirit.
Help us to find your will on earth and
grant us access to your heavenly powers,
for alone we can do nothing.
Strengthen our faith so that we can always serve you.
Bless your Word in us.
May our hearts be opened,
for we are your children,
O Lord our God,
through Jesus Christ our Savior.

Psalm 51:1 - 7


1 Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned,
and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:
and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me,
and I shall be whiter than snow.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you from our hearts,
from the bottom of our hearts,
that you consider us worthy to work with you so that redemption
may come to the world in Jesus Christ.
Already today many are rejoicing in their Redeemer.
They are full of hope and comfort because the end is
approaching - that evening when your glory shall be revealed,
when the whole world and all nations shall glorify you,
O great God and Father in heaven.
Come into our time, we pray.
Help us, Lord our God.
Day and night we look to you in the hope of beholding
the time of your glory, in the hope of receiving the peace
that is beyond all understanding and of finding redemption,
the great redemption from heaven,
through you,
the God over all flesh.

James 1:1 - 12


1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren,
count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this,
that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God,
that giveth to all men liberally,
and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive
any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 But the rich,
in that he is made low:
because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat,
but it withereth the grass,
and the flower thereof falleth,
and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth:
so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation:
for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Our loving Father,
we thank you for all that our hearts and spirits
are allowed to receive from you.
We thank you for the community you give us,
strengthening us to face life even through toil,
struggle, and privation.
Grant that your powers flow out to give us strength and courage.
May we see and recognize you in your deeds ever more clearly.
Do not let us faint or grow weary,
no matter what we have to suffer.
Grant that your Spirit may penetrate us ever more deeply
to bring peace to us and those around us,
and finally to bring blessing for all peoples of the earth.


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

Amen

Romans 15:1 - 7


1 We then that are strong ought to bear the
infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour
for his good to edification.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself;
but, as it is written,
The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were
written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort
of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to
be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God,
even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another,
as Christ also received us to the glory of God.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We come to you as poor, heavily burdened people who
often do not know where to turn. But we have trust in you,
for you are love. Your love penetrates deep into our lives,
righting what is wrong and making amends for our blundering.
And so we are joyful and await your grace and your help on all
our ways. Bless us, and help us find what is right in every situation,
to your praise and your honor.


In the Name of the Most Holy we

Proverbs 10:15 - 22


15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city:
the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life:
the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction:
but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips,
and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:
but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver:
the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many:
but fools die for want of wisdom.
22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,
and he addeth no sorrow with it.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you that in spite of all the evil,
we may look toward the good and toward a change for the better.
For your love,
your Spirit of love,
can be with us.
In spite of all that has gone wrong,
we can change. Through genuine faith we can become worthy in your sight.
Everything can turn to the good.
The nations can become glad,
rejoicing in life because you are working among them to help them change.

Galatians 3:24 - 29


24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to
bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come,
we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God
by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been
baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's,
then are ye Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Remember us even though we are only a few.
Protect us from all evil, from all inner harm,
which threatens us every day.
Let your hand be over us so that at last a great power
may stream out from your church into all the world,
bringing the fulfillment of your promises.
We thank you for all your goodness.
Watch over us, we pray.
Keep us in the right spirit and purpose,
and help us resist all that is wrong and harmful.
Grant that we serve you and not the world.
Protect us this day and every day.


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

Amen

1 Corinthians 15:24 - 32


24 Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God,
even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule
and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign,
till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him,
it is manifest that he is excepted,
which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him
that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead,
if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord,
I die daily.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus,
what advantageth it me,
if the dead rise not?
let us eat and drink;
for to morrow we die.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

How great are your goodness and mercy to us all on earth,
who are subject to misery and death!
May our hearts be strengthened through your goodness
and through the saving power of your nature,
revealed to us in Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
Protect and bless us this night.
May your Spirit help us find your ever-present kindness and mercy.
Praised be your name forever!


In the Name of the Most Holy we
