Acts 13 : 46-52

   
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold,
and said, It was necessary that the word of God
should first have been spoken to you:
but seeing ye put it from you,
and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life,
lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying,
I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles,
that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
48 And when the Gentiles heard this,
they were glad,
and glorified the word of the Lord:
and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women,
and the chief men of the city,
and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas,
and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them,
and came unto Iconium.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy,
and with the Holy Ghost.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for making us into a community
whose refuge and certainty is Jesus Christ.
We thank you that he will not remain hidden from us forever;
his life will be revealed,
perhaps soon, in our times.
Lord God, how long, how long have your children waited!
Now a new time is coming,
the end of this age,
and we rejoice in this even if you must also judge and punish.
No matter what happens,
we are at peace.
We live in your future,
in the future of Jesus Christ,
in the great day when humankind will receive the Spirit
and their old works will come to an end.
Be with us.
Bless us this night and help us in what we
have most on our hearts.
We have so much on our hearts,
but you see everything and you know our needs.
Lord God,
your grace will overcome all earthly troubles,
and your name will be glorified on earth if only there
is a church that believes and truly awaits your help.
Praise to your name!
You have done immeasurably much for us
and you will do even more.



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

Amen

Love this. In Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Exodus 20 : 17-21

   
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house,
thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife,
nor his manservant,
nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
18 And all the people saw the thunderings,
and the lightnings,
and the noise of the trumpet,
and the mountain smoking:
and when the people saw it,
they removed, and stood afar off.
19 And they said unto Moses,
Speak thou with us, and we will hear:
but let not God speak with us,
lest we die.
20 And Moses said unto the people,
Fear not:
for God is come to prove you,
and that his fear may be before your faces,
that ye sin not.
21 And the people stood afar off,
and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you that we can be children of your Spirit.
We thank you that because you have called us,
we receive eternal gifts that enable us to stand firm
even when many sorrows and burdens weigh us down.
For you are our life,
and in all the darkness,
even that of death,
you give us light and strength and joyful hope.
Keep these alive in us.
May an ever brighter light shine on all that you
have already put into our hearts,
on all that draws us daily to you.



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

Isaiah 55 : 8-13

   
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down,
and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
it shall not return unto me void,
but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace:
the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree:
and it shall be to the Lord for a name,
for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Whose light shines out of the darkness and
gleams brightly into our hearts,
we thank you for all the goodness
you allow us to see.
We want to see your goodness clearly
and have confidence in it,
no matter how much around us is
dark and disquieting.
We want to remain firm and full of trust,
looking to what you have put into our
hearts so that we may come to know you.
Be with us with your Spirit.
Lead us to realize ever more clearly
that we are made for your honor.



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

2 Corinthians 7 : 9-13

   
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,
but that ye sorrowed to repentance:
for ye were made sorry after a godly manner,
that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance
to salvation not to be repented of:
but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing,
that ye sorrowed after a godly sort,
what carefulness it wrought in you, yea,
what clearing of yourselves, yea,
what indignation, yea, what fear, yea,
what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea,
what revenge! In all things ye have approved
yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you,
I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong,
nor for his cause that suffered wrong,
but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea,
and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus,
because his spirit was refreshed by you all.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Almighty and holy One,
whose glory shines upon the earth so that we
may find joy in you and may live rejoicing in
all your loving-kindness,
spread out your hands in blessing over all people.
Spread your blessing over the happy and the sad,
over the courageous and the weak.
Shepherd them in your love,
in the great grace you have given through Jesus Christ,
confirmed in us through the Holy Spirit.
Do not let us remain degraded and worthless.
Lift our hearts above what is transitory,
for you have given us something eternal to live by.
Help us every day so that we can reach the goal you
have set for us, for many others,
and finally for all peoples of the earth.



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

Amen

[Charon]

Amen and Amen.
