Romans 10 : 1-9
KJV


1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is,
that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness,
and going about to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to every one that believeth.
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.





Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for giving us a strong fortress in Jesus,
the only Lord,
with whom we can oppose the whole raging,
hateful, lawless, and cruel world.
Come what may, we want to hold high
the banner of Jesus Christ.
In Him we want to wait for the time when
Your mighty deeds will fully establish Your
kingdom for all nations on earth.
You are our God and our Father.
Protect us, and give light to our hearts so
that we can always be joyful and can hope
in You forevermore."


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

Amen

[Charon]

In Jesus precious name, amen and amen.

Psalm 121 : 1-8
KJV


1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper:
the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out
and thy coming in from this time forth,
and even for evermore.





Today's Prayer...


O Lord God,

We thank You that in our times
we may feel and see that You are at work.
This is a joy and comfort to us and we take heart,
although the misery on earth sometimes brings us to tears.
We find joy again because You are at work.
You are carrying out Your will,
which includes Your plan for our life and salvation.
Grant that fruits may appear in our times,
for our times are in Your hands.
Grant that many people from all nations may come to You.
May they turn to You in their need and know the
happiness of receiving Your help.
May Your name be honored, Your kingdom come,
and Your will be done on earth as in heaven."


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

Hebrews 11 : 1-10
KJV


1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God,
so that things which are seen were not made of things
which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more
excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,
God testifying of his gifts:
and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he
should not see death; and was not found,
because God had translated him:
for before his translation he had this testimony,
that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 By faith Noah,
being warned of God of things
not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house;
by the which he condemned the world,
and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham,
when he was called to go out into a place which
he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed;
and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise,
as in a strange country,
dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob,
the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.





Today's Prayer...


O Lord God,

We praise Your name because
You have set up a mercy seat on earth,
because You forgive our sins through the
blood of Jesus Christ.
May Your mercy be seen at work in many hearts.
Shed Your light upon all people,
and let Your glory be known.
Let Your glory shine in all hearts,
to the praise of Your name and
the deliverance of those who are still in misery.
Keep us in Your Word, which works miracles.
Protect in us all that Jesus Christ
has brought to the earth,
and may we use His gifts in simplicity of heart.
Grant that much may be accomplished
to the glory of Your name and that we
may draw nearer to the day of Jesus Christ,
for which we wait in hope and longing."


In the Name of the Most Holy we

Amen

1 Corinthians 10 : 21-31
KJV


21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient:
all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat,
asking no question for conscience sake:
26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast,
and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat,
asking no question for conscience sake.
28 But if any man say unto you,
this is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it,
and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
29 Conscience, I say, not thine own,
but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
30 For if I by grace be a partaker,
why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.





Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We love and honor Your ways even
when they are bitter ways.
We long for courage and strength.
Lord, help us to believe.
Grant faith to the millions surrounded by death,
faith that overcomes everything through utmost self-denial.
Let Your light shine out to bring life to the nations
in the midst of all that is happening.
Your light shall lead and guide us, and peace will come,
a deeper peace than we have ever known.
Remember each of us in all our concerns,
and grant that the struggles of life may lead us to peace.
If hard and bitter ways should be our lot,
help us to remain steadfast,
never complaining about our burdens even in
the most difficult days,
for through grief and trouble the way leads to You."


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

Amen

Jeremiah 23 : 20-30
KJV


20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed,
and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart:
in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran:
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused my people to hear my words,
then they should have turned them from their evil way,
and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?
saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
25 I have heard what the prophets said,
that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the
prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the
deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name
by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour,
as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream;
and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord;
and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,
saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for the great light You
send throughout the world to let us know that You forgive,
that no sin is too great for You to forgive.
Grant that people may cry out,
"Have mercy on me, O God!"
Give them the spirit of prayer in their hearts to call,
"Father, forgive us our sins."
Send Your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and humility,
and then forgive their sins.
Wherever a soul is sighing,
wherever someone is calling to You, hear him.
May our prayers come before Your throne.
Hear and answer us. We have so much on our
hearts that we cannot rightly express it all.
We pray for others too. Father, forgive them.
Clear away all the obstacles so that Your judgment
can be merciful toward those whom You forgive.
Be with us. May we be a church community of Jesus Christ,
washed in his blood, with strength to face every
bitter outburst of the world's fury and still forgive.
May our prayer remain,
"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.""


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

Amen
