1 Peter 4 : 1-9

   
1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh,
arm yourselves likewise with the same mind:
for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in
the flesh to the lusts of men,
but to the will of God.
3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have
wrought the will of the Gentiles,
when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts,
excess of wine, revellings, banquetings,
and abominable idolatries:
4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them
to the same excess of riot,
speaking evil of you:
5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to
judge the quick and the dead.
6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to
them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men
in the flesh,
but live according to God in the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is at hand:
be ye therefore sober,
and watch unto prayer.
8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Light of humankind in Jesus Christ,
full of joy and trust we ask that we may have access
to your almighty power,
your power against all darkness, sin, death, and bondage.
May we feel close to your almighty power.
Hear our weeping,
for we are and remain your children,
to whom you have promised redemption and deliverance.
Together we hold fast to this promise and stand before you saying,
"We are your children in Jesus Christ the Savior,
whom you have sent to us."
Hear your children.
Bless us each one,
and bless us as one people,
allowed to serve you in the misery of our world.



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

Amen
