1 Corinthians 6 : 15-20
KJV

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?
shall I then take the members of Christ,
and make them the members of an harlot?
God forbid.
16 What?
know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body?
for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication.
Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;
but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit,
which are God's.
   

Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Grant us the inner quiet we need so that we may
come into Your presence and hear You speak,
forgetting all the things that try to force themselves upon us.
May we experience Your true and living support.
Keep our hearts glad and thankful for everything,
even in grief, anxiety, and suffering.
In this thankfulness we can remain with You,
and Jesus Christ can help us, Jesus,
whom You have given as our support and helper in all
that most deeply concerns us.
We entrust ourselves to You.
Keep us in Your Spirit.


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

Amen

Romans 12 : 1-5
KJV

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me,
to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;
but to think soberly, according as God
hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.


   

Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank You for giving our hearts hope for
Your kingdom, the kingdom of God.
We thank You that again and again we may draw
strength from this hope,
find new youthfulness and courage,
and discover how powerfully, though hidden,
Your kingdom is already approaching.
Protect this vision and help us when we fail.
All will come right. Whatever happens,
we are in Your hands,
and no one shall snatch this joy from our hearts.


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

Amen

Isaiah 43 : 1-7
KJV

1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob,
and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:
for I have redeemed thee,
I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters,
I will be with thee; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow thee:
when thou walkest through the fire,
thou shalt not be burned;
neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the Lord thy God,
the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:
I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Since thou wast precious in my sight,
thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee:
therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Fear not: for I am with thee:
I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 I will say to the north,
Give up; and to the south, Keep not back:
bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my name:
for I have created him for my glory,
I have formed him; yea, I have made him.


   

Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for giving us Your love,
for letting us draw nearer to what is right and good.
May Your Spirit penetrate everywhere,
overcoming what is false and helping people everywhere
to understand the true nature of Your justice.
Guard us on all our ways.
Protect us when our bodies and our lives are
worn down by sickness and distress of every kind.
Grant us your help according to Your
truth and righteousness.


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

Colossians 3 : 16-25
KJV


16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives,
and be not bitter against them.
20 Children,
obey your parents in all things:
for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger,
lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants,
obey in all things your masters according to the flesh;
not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the
wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

   

Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

O God of righteousness,
let Your light shine out.
Go with us on our way.
May we have clear eyes and hearts through Your
Word and Your Spirit.
Through temptations and struggles be always with us,
lighting our way to what is right and good.
Protect and bless us.
Move our hearts from their very depths to
thank You for all You have done for us,
to praise You, and to glorify You.

2 Corinthians 9 : 7-9
KJV


7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give;
not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye,
always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor:
his righteousness remaineth for ever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister
bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown,
and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness,
which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth
the want of the saints,
but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they
glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ,
and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you,
which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.

   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Almighty God,
Your children look to You in prayer.
Hold us always by the hand.
Reveal to us that You hear us,
that You are among us providing what is best for us,
to the glory of Your Name.
In this hour let us experience something from You,
the good and merciful One.
May we always be glad and thankful for all we
have already received from You and for all
we are still to receive in our lives.

Psalm 147 : 3
KJV


1 Praise ye the Lord:
for it is good to sing praises unto our God;
for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem:
he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars;
he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power:
his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek:
he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds,
who prepareth rain for the earth,
who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food,
and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse:
he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him,
in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;
praise thy God, O Zion.

   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for filling our hearts with such great trust.
We thank You for all we are given in our lives,
above all that we can come to know Jesus Christ.
We thank You that over and over we can draw
strength and life from His life.
Praise to Your Name, for our life has a goal and
we may find strength and certainty during our time on earth.
You will reveal what we hope for,
and even now You allow us to keep something
of this goal before our eyes.
We praise You that Your name may become
great in our midst and that again and again new
life can well up from us, who are poor and weak.
May Your Name be praised for setting this goal
before us to strengthen us.

Romans 12 : 5-13
KJV


5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace
that is given to us, whether prophecy,
let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering:
or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:
he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity;
he that ruleth, with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
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.

   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We come into Your presence and ask You to help us.
Help us in every part of our lives,
even when we do not understand.
Be with us with Your Spirit.
Guide and lead us with Your hand.
Let your will be done in all things,
even if we must bear suffering.
Your will is for good alone and You will set everything right.
Help us. Bless us through Your Word,
through everything we are allowed to hear from You,
our God and our Father.

Romans 6 : 16-23
KJV


16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey,
his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked,
that ye were the servants of sin,
but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin,
ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the
infirmity of your flesh:
for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness
and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants
to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin,
ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin,
and become servants to God,
ye have your fruit unto holiness,
and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You that every day – through
good days and through days that to us seem bad – we know
that our lives are guided by Your will,
what You do and what You want.
For this we thank You.
We want to love You above everything in the world.
Our hearts long for You, for You are our Father.
We want to love and honor You with our whole lives.
Lord our God, bring Your order into the world.
Help us at all times to do Your will and to
fulfill Your commandments.

Ecclesiastes 4 : 9
KJV


9 Two are better than one;
because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow:
but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat:
but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him,
two shall withstand him;
and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
13 Better is a poor and a wise child than
an old and foolish king,
who will no more be admonished.
14 For out of prison he cometh to reign;
whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun,
with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
16 There is no end of all the people,
even of all that have been before them:
they also that come after shall not rejoice in him.
Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We kneel before You and worship You,
for You do mighty deeds in heaven and on earth
and allow us to become Your children and Your servants.
You have done great things for many people,
enabling them to serve You,
and You will do still more.
For You have promised that all our paths will be
made straight.
You have promised that all we do may be a service
to You through Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world,
whom we follow.
He will be revealed to the whole world,
so that the nations will be called to serve You
and Your will may be done on earth as in heaven.
Praised be Your Name, Lord our God!
We open our hearts to You.
In death and in life we are Yours.


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

Amen
