James 4 : 4-10

   
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain,
The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6 But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,
but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God,
and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts,
ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted,
and mourn,
and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and he shall lift you up.



Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We thank you for giving us light here on earth,
where it is so often completely dark.
But in the darkness the name of Jesus Christ shines
out as the prophetic Word:
“Be comforted.
After darkness comes light,
after night comes day!”
We thank you for this light.
In joy we thank you, for we have experienced that
Jesus lives and comes to meet each one,
bringing victory over enemy powers.
In the name of Jesus Christ and in his name alone
we ask you to remember the needs of our time.
We do not want anything that comes from ourselves.
We do not want any earthly peace.
We want your peace, Lord God,
the peace in which everything becomes new,
born anew even in suffering,
to the eternal glory of your name.



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

Amen
