1 Peter 3 : 11-17

   
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good;
let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous,
and his ears are open unto their prayers:
but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you,
if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake,
happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror,
neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to every man
that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you
with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that,
whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers,
they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is better,
if the will of God be so,
that ye suffer for well doing,
than for evil doing.


Today's Prayer...


Father in heaven,

May we recognize and acknowledge that you are God.
You have made us, and not we ourselves,
to be your people and the sheep of your pasture.
Baptize us with the truth we need throughout our lives.
Give us the gift to discern who we are and what we should become.
Free our eyes from all deception so that we can no
longer delude ourselves with short-lived,
earthly things.
Clear our eyes to see what is eternal in and around us.
Make us children, true children,
who awake to exult and rejoice in what is childlike
and who give thanks to you,
O God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.



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

Amen
