Galatians 5:19-26


19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
envying one another.




Today's Prayer...



Lord Jesus, our Savior,

We look upward to heaven, for you will come from heaven
in the glory of the Father. May we remain true to our calling,
watching and praying every day and every hour, waiting for you,
who will bring into order everything on earth.
Bless us and bless our land. Grant us the joy to see you working
through your servants toward the salvation of the peoples.
Be with us and bless us. May your living Word work in our hearts
so that every Sunday, every festival, and every day from now on
may be a day of joy. Protect us. Bless us.
May your name be praised in our hearts!


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

Amen

Isaiah 41:1-6


1 Keep silence before me, O islands;
and let the people renew their strength: let them come near;
then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east,
called him to his foot, gave the nations before him,
and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword,
and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He pursued them, and passed safely;
even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 Who hath wrought and done it,
calling the generations from the beginning?
I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.
5 The isles saw it, and feared;
the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6 They helped every one his neighbour;
and every one said to his brother,
Be of good courage.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We call to you, "Abba, dear Father!" because your Spirit draws us to
Jesus Christ the Savior and to his gospel. We call to you for we belong
to your kingdom. Give us strength to remain steadfast through all the
troubles of our lives. Let your hand remain over us and over the warring
nations. Your hand directs, your hand carries out the thoughts of your heart.
May the time soon come when you will bring everything to fulfillment and
give peace on earth. In expectation we praise your name, for you will bring
this time and you will bring it soon. For your kingdom must come, your will
must be done on earth as in heaven,
and everything must go according to your plan.


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

Amen

2 Thessalonians 3:1-6


1 Finally, brethren, pray for us,
that the word of the Lord may have free course,
and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from
unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful,
who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you,
that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the
love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves
from every brother that walketh disorderly,
and not after the tradition which he received of us.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

Let your miracles be done among us, and bless us through your deeds.
Bless us in Jesus Christ, the Savior of so many people.
May your kingdom come to us and at last bring the great miracles
that carry out your will and that do what is pleasing to you.
Lord God, Father in heaven, we praise you! In you we live,
in you we believe, in you we hope, in you we want to live day by day
and hour by hour. May your name be honored among us,
for you are our God and the God of all the world.
Let your light shine among all people so that many millions
and whole nations may glorify your name, for in the last days
the nations shall come and worship you. So protect and bless
us today and in the coming time, and again and again let
something happen to bring us new life and strength.


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

Amen

Matthew 24:34-44


34 Verily I say unto you,
This generation shall not pass,
till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were,
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house
had known in what watch the thief would come,
he would have watched, and would not have suffered his
house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We thank you for letting hosannas rise from people's hearts and
for letting us cry out to you all the more fervently in dark times.
Help us, O Almighty God, and help your king, Jesus Christ, to his
final victory. For he shall be victor, bringing grace, peace, life, and
victory for all that is good, on earth as in heaven. He shall be victor
at all times in our lives, enabling us to keep faith in trouble, fear,
and need, yes, even in death. Hosanna to the victor, Jesus Christ,
the victor you have chosen! O Almighty God, proclaim him on earth.
Let all the people know he is on his way, to the glory of your name.


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

Amen

Psalm 119:100-110


100 I understand more than the ancients,
because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments:
for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me,
O Lord, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill
offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand:
yet do I not forget thy law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me:
yet I erred not from thy precepts.



Today's Prayer...



Lord God,

Our hearts are full of praise and thanks for your promise.
You comfort and help us with this promise every day,
enabling us to hold true through all distress.
Remember us in these times, and let the cry, "Hosanna,"
arise often in our hearts. Let a bright light shine out now
as you once let it shine around the Lord Jesus, showing him
as King and Savior. Protect us and bless us. Bless our land
and all those appointed to govern. May your Spirit be with them
so that they may carry out your will. For your will must be done
and shall surely happen. In this we trust, and in this we hope.
We praise you, O Lord our God.
Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!


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

Amen
