James 4 : 1-10
KJV


1 From whence come wars and fightings among you?
come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have,
and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not,
because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
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.
8Draw 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 our God,

You are help, comfort,
and life to us in everything we have to endure.
We gather before You as poor, weak people,
but You can make us rich and give us new life
so that our lives prove we hold to Your will and
to the justice You bring on earth.
May we be one in spirit through all we experience
in our hearts, to the glory of Your name.
May the praise and thanks of many people ring
out into all the world because You are help
and deliverance from all evil."


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

Amen
