Psalm 9 : 9-14

   
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord,
hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11 Sing praises to the Lord,
which dwelleth in Zion:
declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood,
he remembereth them:
he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy upon me,
O Lord;
consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me,
thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:
14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the
gates of the daughter of Zion:
I will rejoice in thy salvation.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you with all our hearts that Jesus Christ still lives today
and that we may believe in him and call upon him as our Savior.
We thank you for him who sees to the depths of our human misery
and calls right into the midst of it,
“Do not be afraid.
I am with you.
I live.
I am your helper.
No matter how insignificant you are,
fear not,
for I, Jesus Christ,
shine into all the darkness,
even into the darkness of sin and death,
into all the judgment that has fallen or is still to come
upon everyone on Earth.”
Praise to your name,
Lord our God!
You are great and almighty and beyond our understanding.
But you have sent us the Savior whom we can understand,
and we rejoice that we may have community
with him in your presence.



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

Amen

John 7 : 43-53

   
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him;
but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees;
and they said unto them,
Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered,
Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees,
Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them,
(he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man,
before it hear him,
and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him,
Art thou also of Galilee?
Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for how much good you have poured out on us
throughout our lives!
And how much we should thank you every day!
We thank you that again and again we feel your
help and know that you can fill our earthly life with
what is of heaven.
May your kingdom come over the whole world,
for all people are longing for faith and for mercy
and are to be gathered into your house under the
staff of the Good Shepherd,
Jesus Christ.
Watch over us during the night.
May your help go far and wide into the whole world.
Stand by those who call upon you,
even when they do not understand how they should pray.
Help us and grant that the Savior may come,
to the glory of your name.



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

Amen

1 Timothy 4 : 9-14

   
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
because we trust in the living God,
who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach.
12 Let no man despise thy youth;
but be thou an example of the believers,
in word, in conversation,
in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come,
give attendance to reading,
to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee,
which was given thee by prophecy,
with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you that we are your children
and that your eyes watch over us and see
all that is in our hearts.
You hear the request of each heart,
and you will answer at the right time.
Stretch out your strong hand to us,
for we are weak and often heavy-hearted,
not knowing what to do nor how to find you.
But you are with us in every need in spite of
all our faults and shortcomings.
You are with us;
you lead us through everything to our life’s true goal,
until each of us can rejoice over all you have done,
to the praise of your name,
our Father.



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

Amen

[Charon]

lead us through everything to our life’s true goal, in Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Matthew 6 : 3-10

   
3 But when thou doest alms,
let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
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.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

You show us the way of life;
in your presence is fullness of joy,
and at your right hand is delight forever.
In your presence we want to rejoice
together as your children,
under your protection.
May we become firm in every part of our life on earth.
Grant that soon something of your kingdom,
of your heaven,
may encircle us like a blessing,
enabling us to fight on in joy and exultation.
We entrust ourselves to you,
our faithful and loving God,
and we thank you.



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

Amen

[Charon]

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.

We praise You for all You do for your children, Lord God. Amen and Amen.

Luke 11 : 11-16

   
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
will he give him a stone?
or if he ask a fish,
will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil,
and it was dumb.
And it came to pass,
when the devil was gone out,
the dumb spake;
and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said,
He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 And others,
tempting him,
sought of him a sign from heaven.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We look to you in our many needs,
in the distress of our hearts,
in the anguish of the whole world.
We beseech you,
let light come to your people everywhere on earth
to bring them your help and your victory.
Remember the wretched,
the sick, the poor.
Let your living strength come to them so that they
can bear their sufferings and hold out joyfully to the end.
Remember us all,
O Lord our God,
for we all need you.
We are weak and poor and cannot go forward alone.
Your Spirit must help us.
May the Savior come to us,
and may his grace and his power be born in our hearts.



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

Amen

[Charon]

In Jesus name, Amen and Amen.
