1 Samuel 2 : 2

   
1 And Hannah prayed, and said,
My heart rejoiceth in the Lord,
mine horn is exalted in the Lord:
my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;
because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord:
for there is none beside thee:
neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly;
let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken,
and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;
and they that were hungry ceased:
so that the barren hath born seven;
and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth,
and maketh alive:
he bringeth down to the grave,
and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor,
and maketh rich:
he bringeth low,
and lifteth up.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you that throughout our lives you continually
renew your Spirit in us.
We thank you that your Spirit enables us to understand Jesus Christ
and to follow him all our days on earth.
Bless us,
and let the revelation of your Spirit come to the world,
to the people of all nations,
a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit in each heart.
But there must still be punishment for sin.
For the sake of justice the world has to suffer punishment
through judgment.
For you, Almighty God, are Lord,
and not even Satan, the prince of this world,
can act against your will.
You will carry out your will through the Holy Spirit.
Our task is simply to follow Jesus all our days.
This shall be our joy, this priceless gift of following the Lord Jesus.
Praise to your name that we have him and his witness
in the gospel every day.
Praise to your name that every day,
even through great distress,
we can joyfully follow him in
the strength of the Holy Spirit.



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

Amen
