Ecclesiastes 1 : 9-18
KJV


9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
and that which is done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new?
it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things;
neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to
come with those that shall come after.
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by
wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven:
this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man
to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun;
and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight:
and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo,
I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom
than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea,
my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom,
and to know madness and folly:
I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief:
and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Let our thoughts be filled with all that is honorable,
just, pure, gracious, good, and praiseworthy.
We want to await Your Spirit, not giving way to anxiety,
but showing ourselves worthy to be Your children.
We want to be Your children,
who can rise above even the most difficult
conditions and maintain a quiet trust,
to the glory of Your Spirit within us.
Protect us now and always in Your divine peace."


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

Amen
