Proverbs 11 : 1-9
KJV


1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord:
but a just weight is his delight.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame:
but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them:
but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath:
but righteousness delivereth from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them:
but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish:
and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble,
and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

Luke 12 : 12-21
KJV


12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 And one of the company said unto him,
Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 And he said unto him, Man,
who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying,
The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying,
What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns,
and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul,
thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine
ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him,
Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee:
then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord God Almighty,

We come into Your presence.
Hear our prayers, we entreat You.
Let Your will be done among us;
let Your will be done for each one of us individually,
and for our time. Let everything go according to Your will,
even if the way leads through tribulation, fear, and need.
For in the end Your goal will be reached.
In the end You will fulfill Your purpose,
and Your kingdom will come.
Your kingdom will come to the honor of Your name and
for the redemption of all people still suffering on earth.
Let Your Word bring us blessing.
May we go forward joyfully in the patience of Jesus Christ
until times change, until a new day dawns and we
are allowed to see Your glory and Your peace.


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

Amen

1 Peter 3 : 16-22
KJV


16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you,
as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that 

falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so,
that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins,
the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God,
being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient,
when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is,
eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You that You have always been gracious to us,
revealing Your great goodness and power in ages past and in the present.
In this revelation we live,
O Lord our God.
You are the almighty One,
who works wonders on earth and who rules the heavens
so that we can be blest and helped on our earthly paths.
Let Your goodness and Your justice be revealed throughout
all the world.
Arise, O Lord our God.
Let Your light shine in us who believe in You.
Let Your light shine into the whole world.
Let Your name be glorified.
You are indeed our Father, both in heaven and on earth.
You give our lives security now and in eternity.


In the Name of the Most Holy we

Psalm 20 : 1-9
KJV


1 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble;
the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary,
and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings,
and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart,
and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation,
and in the name of our God we will set up our banners:
the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed;
he will hear him from his holy heaven with the
saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:
but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen:
but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord:
let the king hear us when we call.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We come to You.
With thanks we come to You,
for again and again You have helped us.
Again and again You have let Your light shine out on
us so that we could be glad and know that our lives
are in Your hands.
Protect us on this earth, where it is so necessary.
Protect us, that the light of true life may shine
more and more brightly and we may praise
Your name with our whole heart.
Be with us this night, O God,
and touch our hearts with Your Spirit.

Philippians 3 : 14-21
KJV


14 I press toward the mark for the prize of
the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:
and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded,
God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained,
let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me,
and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often,
and now tell you even weeping,
that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly,
and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to
subdue all things unto himself.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We ask You from our hearts to give us Your peace.
Grant that nothing may take Your peace from us,
and protect us from all that is evil.
May we always be mindful that we should serve You in self-denial.
May we be faithful on all our ways,
looking to the great promise You have given each one of us.
Keep us under Your protection,
as You have always done.
We praise and thank You for all that comes to our hearts from You,
making us full of trust and certain of Your further help.


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

James 1 : 13-20
KJV


13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:
for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:
and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not
the righteousness of God.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

You have sent us the Lord Jesus to bear our
guilt and our misery.
To this day we rejoice that He came,
he who can free us from all evil.
Teach us to understand the way of the Cross,
the way Jesus went.
Grant that we may always follow Him,
even if we also suffer and have a cross to bear.
Then we can joyfully go the way He went to the
glory of Your name, O Father in heaven.
We are Your children whether we understand it or not.
You protect and care for us, until Your glory comes
and everything is completed that was begun through Jesus Christ,
the Savior of the world.
Bless us in His Word,
and help us to become His true followers.


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

1 Chronicles 16 : 34-43
KJV


34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together,
and deliver us from the heathen, 

that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever.
And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Asaph and his brethren,
to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight;
Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests,
before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 To offer burnt offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the
burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is
written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel;
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen,
who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever;
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals
for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God.
And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house:
and David returned to bless his house.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord, our God and Father,

We thank You for letting us walk in the way of Jesus Christ,
for helping us on the way to the Cross.
Come what may, we belong to the Savior,
and we are Your children.
We want to be joyful and full of faith, full of hope, full of patience,
for Your mercy leads us on.
In all we experience how often we can say,
“Thanks be to God. He has helped us here, He has helped there,
He helps every day in spite of all the evil in the world.
Praise and thanks and honor be to Him forever!”


In the Name of the Most Holy we

Matthew 5 : 38-45
KJV


38 Ye have heard that it hath been said,
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:
but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek,
turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law,
and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile,
go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee,
and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you,
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven:
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We come to You as a little flock,
asking You to accept us and keep us as Your own,
whom you will redeem in your time.
Protect us always so that we remain strong in faith.
Strengthen us in the faith that You are with us, helping us.
Grant that Your people may come to the light,
to the honor of Your name.
So we entrust ourselves to Your hands this night.
Be with us, Lord our God,
through Your Spirit.

Ephesians 4 : 25-32
KJV


25 Wherefore putting away lying,
speak every man truth with his neighbour:
for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not:
let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more:
but rather let him labour, working with his hands
the thing which is good,
that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth, but that which is
good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger,
and clamour, and evil speaking,
be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

You are our help and our comfort.
We look to You and to Your promises.
Grant that we may remain full of courage,
also in our personal concerns,
so that we do not complain like fretful children,
but cheerfully wait for Your great victory on earth.
May we become Your people.
Grant Your Spirit to Your people,
not only to a few but eventually to many.
Lord our God,
we pray that Your will may be done on
earth among the nations;
may Your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven.


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

Amen
