Psalm 90 : 1-17
KJV


1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest,
Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:
in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up;
in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger,
and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee,
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath:
we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten;
and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years,
yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long?
and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants,
and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us:
and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea,
the work of our hands establish thou it.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

You are our God.
You rule and guide us,
and our trust remains in You even when many needs
pull at our hearts and try to draw us into their whirlpool.
Protect us, we pray.
May Your divine hand govern us so that we remain
aware of the calling we receive from You and always
have a light shining into our lives to show us how to serve You.
Let Your power work wherever hearts respond to You on this earth,
wherever the strength of Jesus Christ is revealed,
so that people acknowledge His deeds to Your honor.
Be with the lowliest and least noticed of Your children.
Keep them in Your hands and enable them to be fellow workers
who persevere courageously and confidently until the time
when You reveal Yourself to all peoples on earth.


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

Amen

[Charon]

In Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Matthew 7 : 13-23
KJV


13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You for the work You are doing.
We thank You for working through people of all kinds
and of all vocations and through the many hearts that
know Your goodness.
We thank You for the great work led by the Lord Jesus,
who will overcome the world with patience and with gentleness.
He will overcome the world,
opening the door wide for all,
including the poorest of the poor,
to come to You,
their Father in heaven.
Grant that with the light we have been given we
may remain firm and true.
Do not let us come into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are Yours forever.


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

Amen

[Charon]

We thank You for the great work led by the Lord Jesus,

opening the door wide for all,

their Father in heaven.

In Jesus name, Amen and Amen.

Proverbs 29 : 18-27
KJV


18 Where there is no vision, the people perish:
but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words:
for though he understand he will not answer.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?
there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child
shall have him become his son at the length.
22 An angry man stirreth up strife,
and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul:
he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour;
but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just:
and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for the great calling You have given us.
We thank You that in all the evils of today's world You
give us the hope and faith that You are leading us to
a goal that is good, and You make us free.
You make Your children free so that throughout humankind
a new spirit may come,
a new life and a new power to serve You in time and eternity.
Praise to Your name that we can always have hope;
nothing can discourage us,
but everything must work together for good in accordance
with Your great purpose.
Grant that Your compassion may come to all the world,
to all peoples, whom You have looked upon with
mercy in sending Jesus Christ as Savior.


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

Amen

We thank You for the great calling You have given us.
