Philippians 2 : 9-16

   
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him,
and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven,
and things in earth,
and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only,
but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will
and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life;
that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,
that I have not run in vain,
neither laboured in vain.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Bless us all through your Spirit,
that we may find certainty of heart in community
with you under your rulership.
May we keep this certainty,
whatever course our lives may take,
whatever battles and suffering may come to us,
for we belong to you and you rule and guide us as your children.
Watch over all who are still far away from you but who long for you.
Watch over all who are good-hearted and sincere,
even if they often do not understand you.
Protect them,
and let your kingdom come so that your will is
carried out more and more by the many who feel
compelled to seek for you and for the goodness and truth
which are your will.
May we and many others serve you with our whole lives.



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

Amen
