Psalm 62 : 1-8
KJV


1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence;
I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man?
ye shall be slain all of you:
as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency:
they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God;
for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation:
he is my defence;
I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory:
the rock of my strength,
and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people,
pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We turn our faces to You and plead with You to come
to us earthly and often tormented people.
May we find strength in the Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom redemption is promised to us all.
May Your kingdom at last be revealed and everything change
for the better even though we do not see it yet.
May we always honor Your name above all others,
for You are our Father and we want to hold fast to Your Grace
that lets us call You Father.
In our troubled times we want to have enduring faith that
You can bring a new time when good shall at
last emerge from all the distress.
Grant that every broken and needy person may
experience Your help, Your grace, and Your salvation,
and may know that these always surround us,
if only our eyes are open to see and recognize them.
So we want to thank and praise You at all times,
and at last know the joy of eternity,
to Your glory and honor.


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

Amen

Romans 8 : 24-31
KJV


24 For we are saved by hope:
but hope that is seen is not hope:
for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with
groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth
what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called:
and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified,
them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things?
If God be for us, who can be against us?
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord God, our Father,

We thank You for all the light You give us
and for all Your loving help in outward things as well.
We come into Your presence and ask You to
give us Your light and Your constant guidance for
the path we must follow.
Grant that what is of heaven may be revealed on earth,
that we may rejoice in the good and beautiful things
You give to all people.
Our Father, reveal what is of heaven,
and free people from their sin and darkness
so that at last they recognize Your glory.
Strengthen our hope for this goal.
Rule and work in the hearts of many people,
that through them Your glory may be proclaimed to all.


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

Amen

John 11 : 21-27
KJV


21 Then said Martha unto Jesus,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22 But I know, that even now,
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her,
Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him,
I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ,
the Son of God,
which should come into the world.
   


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

In You we want to find our strength,
in You we want to hold out even in these times.
We rejoice that the end is coming,
the end You are preparing,
when Your salvation and justice will come on
earth according to Your promises.
Be with us and with the believing circle given
to us through Jesus Christ.
Make us alert and give us fresh courage again and again,
however difficult life may be.
We want to continue to live and find strength
in the grace of Jesus Christ, holding on in joy
without grumbling and complaining.
Lord God,
may Your name be honored,
Your kingdom come,
and Your will be done
in us according to Your plan.


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

Amen

Deuteronomy 32 : 1-9
KJV


1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear,
O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain,
my speech shall distil as the dew,
as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass:
13Because I will publish the name of the Lord:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves,
their spot is not the spot of his children:
they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord,
O foolish people and unwise?
is not he thy father that hath bought thee?
hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the
years of many generations:
ask thy father, and he will shew thee;
thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the sons of Adam,
he set the bounds of the people according to the
number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord's portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
   


Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you that we have you and the light of your Spirit,
which always gives us new determination for the
tasks you ask of us.
We thank you that we may live not just in the
passing moment but also in eternity,
looking with joyful hope to the future meant for
us and for all humankind.
Keep us in your Spirit, and open to us truth after truth.
May we be part of that people who carry a light within them,
a light which will show them the way through all the
struggles and temptations of life;
then each one of us will know day by day
that you can help us and everyone on earth
to a better life through your Holy Spirit.


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

Amen

2 Peter 3 : 11-18
KJV


11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;
even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given
unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things;
in which are some things hard to be understood,
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest,
as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked,
fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever.
Amen.
   


Today's Prayer...


Our Father in heaven,

As Your children may we truly receive something
from You to bring our lives into a living bond with You.
Grant that we may overcome everything harmful and evil.
May it be given to us to help that Your kingdom may come
closer and closer, that Your will may be done,
and Jesus Christ, Your Son,
may be recognized as the light of the world for the salvation
of all people and their deliverance from all evil.
Protect us and grant that Your Spirit may remain with us.


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

Amen
