Matthew 24:23-30


23 Then if any man shall say unto you,
Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold,
he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east,
and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see
the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We thank you that you let light shine out every day and every year.
Thank you that we may always look to you, whose right hand will
bring order into everything and set all things right, even in difficult times.
May our hearts receive strength to persevere and go on praising you,
for you remain, no matter what happens on earth.
You are our God, you have sent us the Savior, and we can
draw close to you. You have made us the firm promise that your day
is coming when truth and justice will arise on earth to the
glory of your name. May the hearts of many people turn to you so
that they worship you and call to you for help,
to the glory of our Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 1:1-7


1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy,
and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with
pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee
in my prayers night and day;
4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,
that I may be filled with joy;
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee,
which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice;
and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up
the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

Strengthen our hearts today through your Word.
You are our Father and we are your children, and
we want to trust you in every aspect of our lives.
Protect us on all our ways, and grant that we may
always watch and wait for the coming of your kingdom,
for the future of our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep us from
becoming confused by present-day events.
Help us to remain free, that we may serve you and
not be led astray, no matter what happens in the world.
Grant us your Holy Spirit in everything, for without your
Spirit we can do nothing. Help us, and accept our praise
for the many ways you have given us help.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Strengthen us, help us and we shall praise your name, in Jesus name Amen and Amen.

Proverbs 27:15-24


15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day
and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind,
and the ointment of his right hand,
which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron;
so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof:
so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19 As in water face answereth to face,
so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full;
so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for silver,
and the furnace for gold;
so is a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar
among wheat with a pestle,
yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks,
and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever:
and doth the crown endure to every generation?



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

Dear Father, you have made yourself known on earth so
that we may love you and be loved by you.
Give us your Spirit, we pray. Give us your Spirit to strengthen
us in the life and work you offer us.
Watch over us on all our ways. Wherever your children
are sighing and calling for you, protect and guide them
with your mighty hand. Let your kingdom spread over
the whole world, over all people, over all races and nations,
that we may become united as
servants of Jesus Christ to your honor.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Give us Your Strength, In Jesus name, Amen and Amen.

Romans 10:5-13


5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law,
That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,
Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
(that is, to bring Christ down from above
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep?
(that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee,
even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith,
which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith,
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God and Father in heaven,

Be with us and let your face shine upon us, for we are your children.
In the midst of all human planning we are your children who seek you alone,
who seek your will, your kingdom, and everything you have promised to humankind.
Fill our thoughts and feelings with your power so that our lives on earth
may belong to you, so that with our whole will we may put every thing
we have and are into your hands. For we want to be your children,
to have one will with you, Almighty God. We want your kingdom.
This is our will, O Lord our God, and it is your will too.
Therefore it must come to pass, to the glory of your name.


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

Amen

1 Peter 5:6-11


6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your
brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto
his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We gather in your presence, coming from this world so full of
suffering, grief, and misfortune that we could well be afraid.
But we do not have to rely on this world. We can come to you,
the almighty God. You are our Father, and no matter what may
come, we remain your children and receive your blessing.
So protect us in this present time. Even if a flood of evil seems
about to break over us and our hearts are heavy, you will uphold us.
You will strengthen us so that we can bear this time patiently,
hoping in you and in what you do for all people, who are your people
just as we are.
May the praise of your name be in our hearts for ever and ever.


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

Amen
