1 Corinthians 15 : 50-58
KJV


50 Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin;
and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Almighty Father in heaven,
we stand before You as your children,
whom You want to protect through the need of our time,
through all sin and death.
We praise You for giving us so much peace in
an age full of trouble,
and for granting us the assurance of Your help.
Even when we suffer,
we do not want to remain in the darkness
of suffering but want to rise up to
praise and glorify You.
For Your kingdom is coming;
it is already at hand.
Your kingdom comforts and helps us and points
the way for the whole world,
that Your will may be done on earth as in heaven.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Even when we suffer,
we do not want to remain in the darkness
of suffering but want to rise up to
praise and glorify You.
For Your kingdom is coming;
it is already at hand.
In Jesus name, amen and amen.

Philippians 4 : 13-23
KJV


13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have well done,
that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel,
when I departed from Macedonia,
no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving,
but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a gift:
but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all, and abound: I am full,
having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent
from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable,
well pleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply all your need according
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father
be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus.
The brethren which are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute you,
chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.



Today's Prayer...


Dear God and Father of us all,

Sanctify us in your truth.
Your Word is truth.
We come before your presence and ask you
to touch us with your Spirit,
to shape our lives in the truth and in the joy of your name.
Touch us with your Spirit,
that we may carry out our tasks in your service.
May your face shine on us and on all
needy people who turn to you.
May your power be given ever more fully,
and may your cause become great in the world
until at last it brings new life to all nations.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Touch us with your Spirit,
that we may carry out our tasks in your service.

Lamentations 3 : 38-48
KJV


38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain,
a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways,
and turn again to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled:
thou hast not pardoned.
43 Thou hast covered with anger,
and persecuted us: thou hast slain,
thou hast not pitied.
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud,
that our prayer should not pass through.
45 Thou hast made us as the offscouring
and refuse in the midst of the people.
46 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us,
desolation and destruction.
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water
for the destruction of the daughter of my people.



Today's Prayer...


Dear God and Father of us all,

We thank You, dear Father in heaven,
for the many times You let us experience that
we do not need to despair because of
darkness, weakness, or sickness.
You hear the desires of our hearts.
You love us for all that we love when we love
the Savior and when we praise His name.
Let us remain in this spirit.
Come to us with many proofs of your power,
to the glory of Your name.
Come in the inner quiet of heart through which
we are able to grasp what it means for us
that You are our Father in Jesus Christ.


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

Amen

[Charon]

You hear the desires of our hearts.
You love us for all that we love when we love
the Savior and when we praise His name.
Let us remain in this spirit. In Jesus name, amen and amen.

Colossians 3 : 1-11
KJV


1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh
on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these;
anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another,
seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man,
which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian,
bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We stand before You and rejoice that we may
have fellowship with You through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grant us the light of Your Spirit.
Grant our hearts strength for life.
Open for us the paths of life,
that we may find joy and hope in spite of all the
suffering we must go through on earth.
Let all humankind be entrusted to Your care.
Rule over them with Your power,
whether they are aware of it or not,
and take world history into Your hands so
that all people may receive Your mercy.


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

Amen

[Charon]

John 14 : 12-20
KJV


12 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name,
I will do it.
15 If ye love me,
keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father,
and ye in me,
and I in you.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You for wanting to give us happiness
and for holding our earthly life firmly in Your hands.
May we have the confidence that we are in Your hands.
Grant us the light of faith.
Let this light of faith guide us in material things and
help us to wait in patience until the doors open for us
to pass through according to your pleasure.
So bless us all.
Bless our life.
May we grow joyful and free of heart through all that Jesus Christ gives.
On the foundation He establishes for us may Your divine working,
Your fatherly love,
lift and support us throughout our lives.


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

Amen
