Isaiah 53 : 2-9
KJV



2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9 And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You
that You have called us Your children,
a people who may serve You even in
suffering and temptation.
Grant that the grace of Jesus Christ
may be in us so that we can be
victorious over everything that life
puts in our way and can withstand
the distress that surrounds so many people.
O Lord our God, our only refuge,
to You alone can we appeal for evil to end
and for the victory of Jesus Christ
to break through.
In that hour we shall rejoice
and be glad as Your people.


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

Amen
