Hosea 6:3

3 Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press
on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear; he will come to us like the winter
rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”



Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, we thank you that you let light shine out
every day and every year. Thank you that we may always look
to you, whose right hand will bring order into everything
and set all things right, even in difficult times. May our hearts
receive strength to persevere and go on praising you, for
you remain, no matter what happens on earth.
You are our God, you have sent us the Savior, and we can
draw close to you. You have made us the firm promise that
your day is coming when truth and justice will arise on earth
to the glory of your name. May the hearts of many people
turn to you so that they worship you and call to you for help,
to the glory of our Savior Jesus Christ.

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

Amen.

Job 40:1-2

1 The LORD said to Job:
2 “Will the one who contends with the
Almighty correct him? Let him who
accuses God answer him!”


Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, strengthen our hearts today through
your Word. You are our Father and we are your children,
and we want to trust you in every aspect of our lives.
Protect us on all our ways, and grant that we may always
watch and wait for the coming of your kingdom, for the
future of our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep us from becoming
confused by present-day events. Help us to remain free,
that we may serve you and not be led astray, no matter
what happens in the world. Grant us your Holy Spirit in
everything, for without your Spirit we can do nothing.
Help us, and accept our praise for the many ways you
have given us help.

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

Amen.

2 Peter 3:10

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements
will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything
done in it will be laid bare.


Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, dear Father, you have made yourself known
on earth so that we may love you and be loved by you. Give
us your Spirit, we pray. Give us your Spirit to strengthen us
in the life and work you offer us. Watch over us on all our ways.
Wherever your children are sighing and calling for you, protect
and guide them with your mighty hand. Let your kingdom spread
over the whole world, over all people, over all races and nations,
that we may become united as servants of
Jesus Christ to your honor.

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

Amen.

Revelation 1:18

18 I am the Living One; I was dead,
and now look, I am alive for ever and ever!
And I hold the keys of death and Hades.


Today's Prayer...



Lord our God and Father in heaven, be with us and
let your face shine upon us, for we are your children.
In the midst of all human planning we are your children
who seek you alone, who seek your will, your kingdom,
and everything you have promised to humankind. Fill
our thoughts and feelings with your power so that our
lives on earth may belong to you, so that with our whole
will we may put every thing we have and are into your
hands. For we want to be your children, to have one will
with you, Almighty God. We want your kingdom. This is
our will, O Lord our God, and it is your will too.
Therefore it must come to pass, to the Glory
of your Name.

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

Amen.

Matthew 25:40

40 “The King will reply,
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of
the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you did for me.’

Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, we gather in your presence, coming from
this world so full of suffering, grief, and misfortune that we
could well be afraid. But we do not have to rely on this world.
We can come to you, the almighty God. You are our Father,
and no matter what may come, we remain your children and
receive your blessing. So protect us in this present time. Even
if a flood of evil seems about to break over us and our hearts
are heavy, you will uphold us. You will strengthen us so that
we can bear this time patiently, hoping in you and in what you
do for all people, who are your people just as we are.
May the praise of your name be in our hearts
for ever and ever.

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

Amen.

Titus 3:4-7

4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing
of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ
our Savior,
7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become
heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Today's Prayer...



Father in heaven, we surrender ourselves to your love,
the love in which Christ comes to us. Like children we say
every day to the Lord Jesus himself, "Lord Jesus, come, come!
Even if we cannot see you today because times have changed,
come into the world, come more and more into world history.
Send more and more of your nature, your goodness, into all hearts.
Come at last, come quickly to bring an end to the adversary,
an end to world power with its sinister, hostile character.
May bright day, clear light from the Father in heaven, dawn
through you, Lord Jesus. Yes, come, Lord Jesus!"

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

Amen.
