1 Timothy 6 : 10-16
KJV
   
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things;
and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, l
ay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,
and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God,
who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus,
who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot,
unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall shew,
who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality,
dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto;
whom no man hath seen, nor can see:
to whom be honour and power everlasting.
Amen.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Dear Father,
you have made yourself known on earth so
that we may love you and be loved by you.
Give us your Spirit, we pray.
Give us your Spirit to strengthen us in the life
and work you offer us.
Watch over us on all our ways.
Wherever your children are sighing and calling for you,
protect and guide them with your mighty hand.
Let your kingdom spread over the whole world,
over all people, over all races and nations,
that we may become united as
servants of Jesus Christ to your honor.



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

Amen

[Charon]

I thank you for all you do for us and Praise You in Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

1 John 3 : 13-20
KJV
   
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life,
because we love the brethren.
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us:
and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's good,
and seeth his brother have need,
and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him,
how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children,
let us not love in word, neither in tongue;
but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth,
and shall assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us,
God is greater than our heart,
and knoweth all things.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God and Father in heaven,

Be with us and let your face shine upon us,
for we are your children.
In the midst of all human planning we are your
children who seek you alone, who seek your will,
your kingdom, and everything you have promised to humankind.
Fill our thoughts and feelings with your power so that
our lives on earth may belong to you,
so that with our whole will we may put every thing
we have and are into your hands.
For we want to be your children,
to have one will with you, Almighty God.
We want your kingdom.
This is our will, O Lord our God,
and it is your will too.
Therefore it must come to pass,
to the glory of your name.



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

Amen

[Charon]

let us not love in word, neither in tongue;
but in deed and in truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth

In Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Proverbs 23 : 4-9
KJV
   
4 Labour not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
for riches certainly make themselves wings;
they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Eat and drink, saith he to thee;
but his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
and lose thy sweet words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool:
for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We gather in your presence,
coming from this world so full of suffering, grief,
and misfortune that we could well be afraid.
But we do not have to rely on this world.
We can come to you, the almighty God.
You are our Father,
and no matter what may come,
we remain your children and receive your blessing.
So protect us in this present time.
Even if a flood of evil seems about to break over us
and our hearts are heavy, you will uphold us.
You will strengthen us so that we can bear this time
patiently, hoping in you and in what you do for all people,
who are your people just as we are.
May the praise of your name be in our hearts
for ever and ever.



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

Amen

[Charon]

Even if a flood of evil seems about to break over us
and our hearts are heavy, you will uphold us.

Matthew 9 : 14-22
KJV
   
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying,
Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft,
but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them,
Can the children of the bridechamber mourn,
as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come,
when the bridegroom shall be taken from them,
and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment,
for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment,
and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles:
else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles,
and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold,
there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying,
My daughter is even now dead:
but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him,
and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman,
which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years,
came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself,
If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about,
and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort;
thy faith hath made thee whole.
And the woman was made whole from that hour.




Today's Prayer...


Father in heaven,

We surrender ourselves to your love,
the love in which Christ comes to us.
Like children we say every day to the Lord Jesus himself,
"Lord Jesus, come, come!
Even if we cannot see you today because times have changed,
come into the world, come more and more into world history.
Send more and more of your nature, your goodness,
into all hearts.
Come at last, come quickly to bring an end to the adversary,
an end to world power with its sinister, hostile character.
May bright day, clear light from the Father in heaven,
dawn through you, Lord Jesus.
Yes, come, Lord Jesus!"



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

Amen

[Charon]

We surrender ourselves to your love,
the love in which Christ comes to us.

In Jesus precious name, amen and amen.

Matthew 22 : 36-40
KJV
   
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We seek your face and long to find you.
May we find you as your people found you in times past
when you drew near with many signs and miracles.
May our hearts come before you in awe and trust
and draw their strength from you.
May many in our time seek you and receive your
comfort and help, for you provide strength and courage
for the poor and destitute,
for the suffering and the dying.
Do not let our age pass by in vain,
O great and almighty God.
A new time must surely come,
a new day must be born from this present age.
This is your will, and in your will we trust.



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

Amen
