Galatians 6 : 1-8

   
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault,
ye which are spiritual,
restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3 For if a man think himself to be something,
when he is nothing,
he deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his own work,
and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone,
and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word
communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived;
God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

O Holy One,
we thank you that we may lay aside our
own nature and be lifted in spirit above all
that is temporal and human and have joy in you.
In spite of all the evil surrounding us,
in spite of the thousandfold misery of humankind,
we may still rejoice in you,
in all you do and will yet do for us.
Grant that we may go on rejoicing,
having joy together,
helping instead of burdening each other,
until this earth is filled with the jubilation
of those you have so richly blest.
Forgive us all our sins.
Heal us in mind and body.
Deliver us from all the corruption
that tries to take hold of our souls.



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

Amen

[Charon]

We rejoice in You despite the evil surrounding us. In Jesus precious name, amen and Amen.

Proverbs 2 : 1-9

   
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,
and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver,
and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord,
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment,
and preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness,
and judgment, and equity;
yea, every good path.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We want to find our joy in you and in all your promises to us.
For you have promised that in the midst of all the pain and sorrow,
you are preparing what pleases you and serves your honor in every heart.
May we experience in our lives the fulfillment of many of your promises,
so that again and again we can go forward joyfully,
rising above difficult times and situations.
Have mercy on us and protect us in your strength.



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

Amen

[Charon]

We praise you for being Our Father, OUr God, Our Love, in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.

James 3 : 9-18

   
9 Therewith bless we God,
even the Father; and therewith curse we men,
which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the
same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree,
my brethren, bear olive berries?
either a vine, figs?
so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued
with knowledge among you?
let him shew out of a good conversation his works
with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and
strife in your hearts,
glory not,
and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above,
but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is,
there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle,
and easy to be intreated,
full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is
sown in peace of them that make peace.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

In your Word we trust,
in your Word of eternal life,
given us in Jesus Christ our Savior.
We build on this Word of life in these days
when it seems that everything is losing strength and value,
and yet there is so much longing in people’s hearts.
You will not let our hope be disappointed.
What you have spoken must be fulfilled.
What is promised in Jesus Christ must come into being,
not only for a few but for the whole world,
for which he died and was raised from the dead.
Be with us.
Keep us so fully alive that our lives reflect all
the goodness we are allowed to experience
and we overcome all the evil which tries to attack us.
We thank you for calling us to life and for renewing
us again and again.
May your name be praised among us forever.



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

Amen

Deuteronomy 4 : 10-14

   
10 Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb,
when the Lord said unto me,
Gather me the people together,
and I will make them hear my words,
that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth,
and that they may teach their children.
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain;
and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven,
with darkness, clouds,
and thick darkness.
12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire:
ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude;
only ye heard a voice.
13 And he declared unto you his covenant,
which he commanded you to perform,
even ten commandments;
and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
14 And the Lord commanded me at that time to
teach you statutes and judgments,
that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Our Father in heaven,
with all our hearts we want to thank you for giving us joy on earth
and for sending us your radiant light from heaven.
We praise you for the light you give our hearts,
the light that lets us find great joy together because
we become one in you,
one in your Spirit,
one in awaiting your promised good.
Grant that we may be your children.
May we always find the paths where you can go with us
and give us what we cannot give ourselves.
May our whole life glorify you and our every breath belong to you.
Through communion with you may we remain in
your safekeeping in body, soul, and spirit.
For all you have done and for all you will do for us,
we ask you to accept our thanks.



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

Amen

[Charon]

May our entire life glorify you Lord God. In Jesus name, Amen and Amen.

Psalm 31 : 1-8

   
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;
let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily:
be thou my strong rock,
for an house of defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's sake lead me,
and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
for thou art my strength.
5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit:
thou hast redeemed me,
O Lord God of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities:
but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:
for thou hast considered my trouble;
thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:
thou hast set my feet in a large room.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you for all your goodness and for the peace you give us.
Unite us as your people, we pray.
Unite us as one people with all your children
who have ever lived,
as one people with all who want to serve you.
The more faithfully and joyfully we are your people,
the more blessing you can give.
Let the material world come under your hand.
Guide your children on earth.
Lead us in such a way that others may be helped.
When we suffer, grant us strength and understanding of your will.
Protect us today and every day.



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

Amen

[Charon]

Unite your people now I pray in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.

John 14 : 24-31

   
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:
and the word which ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you,
I go away, and come again unto you.
If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice,
because I said,
I go unto the Father:
for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass,
that, when it is come to pass,
ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you:
for the prince of this world cometh,
and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father;
and as the Father gave me commandment,
even so I do.
Arise, let us go hence.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you for guiding us,
your children, here on earth.
We thank you that whatever happens to us,
we can again and again find joy because you give us
what is good even when times are evil and
when we go through sorrow.
We thank you that your goodness and your faithfulness
penetrate everything, and that at last, at long last,
they penetrate our hearts. Then we can know and
be glad that your Spirit guides us.
We can know we are never alone but can receive
strength to help us in the struggle and toil of our life.
Through your help everything becomes fruitful – good and evil,
life and death, health and suffering.
Everything must serve you through the working of your Spirit.



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

Amen
