Ephesians 4 : 18-28

   
18 Having the understanding darkened,
being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them,
because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness,
to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him,
and have been taught by him,
as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man,
which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying,
speak every man truth with his neighbour:
for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry,
and sin not:
let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more:
but rather let him labour,
working with his hands the thing which is good,
that he may have to give to him that needeth..




Today's Prayer...


Lord God Almighty,

Bring in the day,
the day of Jesus Christ,
through whom we shall be united.
Then we shall recognize each other as fellow citizens,
as brothers and sisters,
and we shall have peace on earth.
Give your Spirit anew,
O Lord our God.
Free and enlighten every heart so that each person
can acknowledge the Word you have given and
hold fast to all your promises,
even in dark and troubled times.
Be with us.
Be with our people.
Help us in our times, O Lord God.
We wait for you. We await your peace,
a new peace – not the old peace,
not a return to comfort and selfish desires,
but your peace – which shall bring us into the life of heaven,
where we find Jesus Christ,
the Living One,
our Shepherd and Leader.



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

Amen
