John 3:1 - 7


1 There was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night,
and said unto him, Rabbi,
we know that thou art a teacher come from God:
for no man can do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,
and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you for the gift of your light in our hearts,
allowing us to have faith in you.
We thank you for your light,
which shows us the many ways you save us from need,
darkness, and death.
In the midst of this darkness you keep our hearts safe so that we
can be faithful until your time comes,
the time when you will reveal yourself to the world,
and when all voices will cry out as one,
“Yes, Father in heaven,
we thank you.
You have redeemed us all.”



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

Amen

Psalm 18:26 - 32


26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure;
and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people;
but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle:
the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop;
and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the Lord?
or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,
and maketh my way perfect.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

May our hearts find words to praise you together,
to ask you with one accord that we may be brought into community with you.
We come to you with our whole selves,
with all that we have experienced,
with all that has been given to us through your leading.
For to this day you have shown us the way,
guiding us through right and wrong,
through the perfect and the imperfect.
You have led us all to know that we belong to you.
We are yours.
You are working in us to bring about what you have in mind for each one of us
and for the many, many who hunger and thirst for justice and truth.
Be with us through your Spirit.
Touch us through the hand of Jesus Christ.
He is our Savior,
and we hold fast to him so that we can praise you in his name.

Ezekiel 36:24 - 28


24 For I will take you from among the heathen,
and gather you out of all countries,
and will bring you into your own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you,
and ye shall be clean:
from all your filthiness,
and from all your idols,
will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put within you:
and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers;
and ye shall be my people,
and I will be your God.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Our refuge for this day and for each day to come,
touch us with the finger of your power.
Be our protection and strong defense against all attacks of darkness.
Where people look to you out of the darkness,
let their eyes grow shining bright with the light from your eyes.
Let your light shine within us and around us.
Let your light bring your cause to victory,
to the final great day of Jesus Christ.



In the Name of the Most Holy we

1 Corinthians 2: 8 - 12


8 Which none of the princes of this world knew:
for had they known it,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:
for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him?
even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit which is of God;
that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Through the Spirit grant us community with you,
we pray.
Help us onward again and again,
and help us grow in strength to follow what is true and good.
May your goodness and your grace be in our hearts to help us
in all practical things.
Grant that wherever we live we may have something of the
power in which Jesus Christ lived and suffered,
in which he died and yet lives again.
May the world still learn that it has a redeemer
and that it belongs to him,
to the glory of Your Name.



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

Amen

Luke 8 : 49 - 56


49 While he yet spake,
there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house,
saying to him,
Thy daughter is dead;
trouble not the Master.
50 But when Jesus heard it,
he answered him, saying, Fear not:
believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 And when he came into the house,
he suffered no man to go in,
save Peter, and James, and John,
and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 And all wept,
and bewailed her:
but he said, Weep not;
she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead.
54 And he put them all out,
and took her by the hand,
and called, saying,
Maid, arise.
55 And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway:
and he commanded to give her meat.
56 And her parents were astonished:
but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Grant that we may come to you in the Spirit.
Through your Spirit gather us and many others on earth
around our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Savior of humankind.
May our hearts become truly free because you deliver us from
all bondage to our own natures and to the world around us.
As free people may we be led safely through distress,
fear, and want, through need and death.
May we become happy children whom Jesus Christ has called to life,
children who are not discouraged by the struggle but who
fight joyfully for your kingdom until it can be revealed to all the world.
