2 Corinthians 7 : 9-13

   
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,
but that ye sorrowed to repentance:
for ye were made sorry after a godly manner,
that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance
to salvation not to be repented of:
but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing,
that ye sorrowed after a godly sort,
what carefulness it wrought in you, yea,
what clearing of yourselves, yea,
what indignation, yea, what fear, yea,
what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea,
what revenge! In all things ye have approved
yourselves to be clear in this matter.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you,
I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong,
nor for his cause that suffered wrong,
but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea,
and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus,
because his spirit was refreshed by you all.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Almighty and holy One,
whose glory shines upon the earth so that we
may find joy in you and may live rejoicing in
all your loving-kindness,
spread out your hands in blessing over all people.
Spread your blessing over the happy and the sad,
over the courageous and the weak.
Shepherd them in your love,
in the great grace you have given through Jesus Christ,
confirmed in us through the Holy Spirit.
Do not let us remain degraded and worthless.
Lift our hearts above what is transitory,
for you have given us something eternal to live by.
Help us every day so that we can reach the goal you
have set for us, for many others,
and finally for all peoples of the earth.



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

Amen
