Joel 2:1-6



1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh,
for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness,
as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath
not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness;
yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses;
and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap,
like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people
set in battle array.
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall
gather blackness.



Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,

We love and honor your ways even when they are bitter ways.
We long for courage and strength. Lord, help us to believe.
Grant faith to the millions surrounded by death, faith that overcomes
everything through utmost self-denial. Let your light shine out to
bring life to the nations in the midst of all that is happening.
Your light shall lead and guide us, and peace will come, a deeper
peace than we have ever known. Remember each of us in all our
concerns, and grant that the struggles of life may lead us to peace.
If hard and bitter ways should be our lot, help us to remain steadfast,
never complaining about our burdens even in the most difficult days,
for through grief and trouble the way leads to you.


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

Amen

Psalm 24:6-10



6 This is the generation of them that seek him,
that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up,
ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up,
ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We thank you for the great light you send throughout the world to
let us know that you forgive, that no sin is too great for you to forgive.
Grant that people may cry out, "Have mercy on me, O God!" Give them
the spirit of prayer in their hearts to call, "Father, forgive us our sins."
Send your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and humility, and then forgive
their sins. Wherever a soul is sighing, wherever someone is calling to you,
hear him. May our prayers come before your throne. Hear and answer us.
We have so much on our hearts that we cannot rightly express it all.
We pray for others too. Father, forgive them. Clear away all the obstacles
so that your judgment can be merciful toward those whom you forgive.
Be with us. May we be a church community of Jesus Christ, washed in
his blood, with strength to face every bitter outburst of the world's fury
and still forgive. May our prayer remain, "Forgive us our sins as we
forgive those who sin against us."

John 12:24-28



24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world
shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also
my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour:
but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying,
I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.



Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,

We come before you as your children, longing to be assured through
your Spirit that we are and may remain your children. We long to live
to the glory of your name under the shelter and guidance of the
Lord Jesus in expectation of the great day which shall fulfill all promises
made to us. Strengthen us, especially in dark and troubled days.
Help us when danger threatens and when evil tries to make headway
among us. Deliver us from all evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power,
and the glory for ever and ever.

Matthew 6:1-4



1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them:
otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what
thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in
secret himself shall reward thee openly.


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.

Proverbs 10:7-12



7 The memory of the just is blessed:
but the name of the wicked shall rot.
8 The wise in heart will receive commandments:
but a prating fool shall fall.
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow:
but a prating fool shall fall.
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes:
but love covereth all sins.


Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,

We come into your presence as imperfect, sinful children, who do many foolish things
and who are involved in much that is evil and corrupt. We come to you, Father,
knowing that your fatherly love is with us through all eternity. Be gracious to us
and free us from all the harm and injury we are bound to suffer in this earthly life.
May the grace your kingdom brings on earth finally blot out the sins of all people,
so that as your children they may rejoice because you have helped them.
May your name be praised among all people.

pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

Romans 12:9-14



9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit;
serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation;
continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints;
given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you:
bless, and curse not.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We thank you that you are so near to us that we may feel and
know we are your children, your children who are in your hands
with all that belongs to our earthly life, all our needs and temptations,
all our efforts and pain. We come together to thank you, and our
thanksgiving wins a victory over everything that makes life difficult
for us. In this thanksgiving the harshness, crookedness, and injustice
on earth cannot harm us. Protect us with your light, which gives
us wisdom for all situations and which lifts us above everything
that is base and meaningless and must pass away.


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

Amen
