Galatians 5:24

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the flesh with its passions and desires.

My Prayer...

Lord our God, grant that our spirit may recognize your Spirit
and your love, so that our lives cannot be swallowed up by
passing concerns but are lifted to something higher. Help us
hold fast to all the blessings you have allowed us to experience,
the blessings you will certainly continue to give, even though
new battles and new troubles are all around us. Send a great
light to shine among the many people whose task is to lead the
way so that your kingdom may come. Send light so that your
name may be honored through our human deeds and you may
be known as life for all.

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.

In Jesus' precious name I agree in prayer. Amen and Amen.

1 Peter 2:9

9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him
who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

My Prayer...

Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, stand at our side and protect us in
all our days on earth. Grant us an understanding of the honor that
belongs to God. Help us see that you are sent so that heaven and earth
shall one day bow down before God's almighty will. Stand by us so
that we may hear, understand, and accept your Word. Stand by us all
our lives. Be with us in suffering and in our last hour when death comes
to us. May your grace be with us. Help us at all times to be firmly rooted
in the will of our God and Father in heaven.

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.

In Jesus' name, Amen and Amen.

Romans 5:17

17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned
through that one man, how much more will those who
receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift
of righteousness reign in life through the one man,
Jesus Christ!


My Prayer...

Lord God, we thank you for your voice even when it is stern
and we must go through hardship and suffering. Your voice
speaks to us, and in your voice we can be glad and victorious
in our life on earth. Come into our lives. May each of us realize
that all we have gone through has been for the good. Be God
and Lord over the nations. Be a refuge for all people. Grant that
the sin and distress of this terrible time may soon pass and that
we may hear your words, "Be comforted. I will come soon. All
these terrors must pass by. My will is being done. My name must
be honored. My kingdom and my rule are coming. So take heart
and at all times look to your God and Father in heaven."

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.

Romans 8:15

15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves,
so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you
received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”




Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven, how lovingly you have thought of us!
How much good you let us experience again and again! So our
hearts are happy, and we go to rest this night full of joy and
thanks because we are your children. Our thanks and joy shall
be our service to you day and night. More than this you do not
ask, and in this we will be faithful. We want to be joyful and to
be glad for our lives. Even when we face dark hours,
O Lord our God, we are filled with hope that brings us joy for the
future as well as for the present, with assurance that your
salvation is coming. We rejoice in what you give us already today.

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.

[Charon]

and Amen.

1 Peter 3:14

14 But even if you should suffer for what is right,
you are blessed.
“Do not fear their threats ; do not be frightened.”




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, we thank you that we may come to you and
that our spirits can reach out for your help and your comfort.
May we draw strength from communion with you, our Father.
May we realize more fully that we are your children, truly your
children, who throughout our pilgrimage are allowed to know
you as our refuge and our help. Remember our world, and grant
that many hearts awaken and turn to you, looking to you in all
the fear and need which sweep over many people in our time.
Let your Spirit be revealed to our hearts in quiet, bringing many
experiences from you, O Lord our God, and from your kingdom.
Protect us every day in the many lands throughout the earth. For
the nations are yours; they shall receive life and blessing from you,
and at last your kingdom will be revealed in all the world, to the
eternal glory of your name.

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.

Psalm 23:4

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod
and your staff, they comfort me.




Today's Prayer...



Lord our God, dear Father in heaven, we thank you.
How often you rescue us from all fear and distress! How
often you hear and answer us! Grant that our hearts may
always be eager and joyful because you answer us.
There is nothing else for us in this world; you are our one
hope, our only hope. You alone can help our times, help
the nations, help each person. Nothing else matters to us.
Lord our God, for the rest of our life on earth you alone
are our help, our comfort, and our strength.

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.

Exodus 14:13

13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm
and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.
The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.



Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven, we seek you and your kingdom.
We gather to hear your Word so that we may receive
strength for our own lives and for all our relationships with
others. We want to stand firm, believing that in everything
great and small your will is being done and that we may
yet experience a new coming of your glory on earth. Then
earthly concerns will no longer torment us and wear us out,
but heavenly things may surround us and everything become
new in accordance with your good, merciful, and perfect will.

In Jesus' Holy Name we pray

Amen.
