2 Corinthians 5:5-12


5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God,
who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that,
whilst we are at home in the body,
we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight)
8 We are confident, I say,
and willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that,
whether present or absent,
we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
but we are made manifest unto God;
and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you,
but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have
somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance,
and not in heart.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

How great is your love, and how great is your help!
May each one of us feel sheltered in your hand,
knowing that our faults and shortcomings no longer matter.
We can go straight toward the goal you have set,
for you will help us through the forgiveness of sins and through
all the good you can put into our hearts.
And so we ask you to be with us.
May we be faithful, believing firmly in your great mercy,
so that your name may be glorified among us.
May each heart be given the comfort of knowing that everything
will yet turn to the good, to the glory of your name.


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

Amen
