Proverbs 18 : 7-15

   
7 A fool's mouth is his destruction,
and his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it,
and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,
it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;
but a wounded spirit who can bear?
15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;
and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for being among us as our Father,
for letting us be your children on earth.
We thank you that as your children we can find life
in spirit and in truth.
Grant that each of us may find how our lives on earth
can be lifted up by your Spirit.
Your Spirit can bring us what we do not possess,
so that our daily work,
all our striving and struggling for the outward things of life,
may be pervaded by what is higher and greater.
Your Spirit can keep us from falling into base and petty ways,
from getting lost in earthly experiences which do not last,
no matter how much they demand our attention.
We thank you for all you have done for your children.
Continue to help us, that we may serve you
every day in gladness and gratitude.



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

Amen

John 3 : 11-17

   
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
We speak that we do know,
and testify that we have seen;
and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe,
if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven,
even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We rejoice that we may be called your children.
In our weakness we ask you to shelter us in your hands.
Strengthen us in the hope and faith that our lives will surely go the right way,
not through our strength but through your protection.
Grant that through your Spirit we may come to know more and
more that you are with us.
Help us to be alert in our daily life and to listen whenever you
want to say something to us.
Reveal the power and glory of your kingdom in many people,
to the glory of your name,
and hasten the coming on earth of all that is good and true.



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

Amen

Hasten Your return, My Lord. Your People await you. in Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Jeremiah 32:17-24

   
17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth
by thy great power and stretched out arm,
and there is nothing too hard for thee:
18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands,
and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them:
the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts,
is his name,
19 Great in counsel,
and mighty in work:
for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men:
to give every one according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
even unto this day,
and in Israel, and among other men;
and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs,
and with wonders,
and with a strong hand,
and with a stretched out arm,
and with great terror;
22 And hast given them this land,
which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them,
a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 And they came in,
and possessed it;
but they obeyed not thy voice,
neither walked in thy law;
they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do:
therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
24 Behold the mounts,
they are come unto the city to take it;
and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
that fight against it, because of the sword,
and of the famine,
and of the pestilence:
and what thou hast spoken is come to pass;
and, behold, thou seest it.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

You want to be our God and you want us to be your people.
Give us the inner integrity and the power to discern
and reject what does not come from the heart,
so that everything may be genuine among us.
Then no lies and deception will creep in,
and honesty and goodness will flow from our
hearts to the glory of truth,
to the glory of the gospel and the great hope you give us through the gospel.
Guard our hearts.
Protect the good that is planted in them,
that it may grow and thrive and bear fruit.



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

Amen

[Charon]

Guard our hearts Lord God in Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Psalm 8 : 1-9

   
1 O Lord, our Lord,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou
ordained strength because of thine enemies,
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens,
the work of thy fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man,
that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion
over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea,
and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth!



Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

Our souls long for you and for your glory,
for the day when it shall be said,
"All is accomplished! Now your kingdom comes.
Now your day appears.
When we look back on all that has happened to us,
everything becomes clear."
We thank you that we can live without fear,
again and again refreshed and renewed,
waiting for the good you give on earth.
Show us the way we have to go.
Grant your blessing in our hearts so that in need and death,
in fear and distress,
we may always have light and strength.
You are our salvation,
Lord our God.
From you comes the salvation of our souls.
We trust you today and every day.
We praise your name,
and in you we hope for the day you hold in
readiness for the whole world,
the day when light will dawn in every heart.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
