Psalm 27 : 1-5

   
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked,
even mine enemies and my foes,
came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord,
that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord,
and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you for the work you are doing.
We thank you for working through people of all kinds
and of all vocations and through the many hearts that
know your goodness.
We thank you for the great work led by the Lord Jesus,
who will overcome the world with patience and with gentleness.
He will overcome the world, opening the door wide for all,
including the poorest of the poor,
to come to you,
their Father in heaven.
Grant that with the light we have been given we may remain firm and true.
Do not let us come into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory are yours forever.



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

Amen

[Charon]

In Jesus precious name, Amen and Amen.

Matthew 20 : 28-32

   
28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 And as they departed from Jericho,
a great multitude followed him.
30 And, behold,
two blind men sitting by the way side,
when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying,
Have mercy on us,
O Lord, thou son of David.
31 And the multitude rebuked them,
because they should hold their peace:
but they cried the more, saying,
Have mercy on us,
O Lord, thou son of David.
32 And Jesus stood still,
and called them, and said,
What will ye that I shall do unto you?
33 They say unto him, Lord,
that our eyes may be opened.
34 So Jesus had compassion on them,
and touched their eyes:
and immediately their eyes received sight,
and they followed him.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Our Father in heaven and on earth,
we ask you to bless us, your children,
for we want to be your children and nothing else.
We want to have our joy and delight in knowing that we belong to you,
the almighty God,
who began and who will complete redemption on earth through Jesus Christ,
our Savior.
Bless your Word in us.
Give us courage in suffering and distress,
for we are allowed to serve you in all circumstances,
even when we find it bitterly hard.
Your name shall be honored in us,
your kingdom shall come.
As surely as the earth endures,
everything shall happen in accordance with your will,
on earth as in heaven.



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

Amen

1 John 2 : 21-26

   
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth,
but because ye know it,
and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist,
that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son,
the same hath not the Father:
he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you,
which ye have heard from the beginning.
If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you,
ye also shall continue in the Son,
and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us,
even eternal life.
26 These things have I written unto you
concerning them that seduce you.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for the great calling you have given us.
We thank you that in all the evils of today's world you give us
the hope and faith that you are leading us to a goal that is good,
and you make us free.
You make your children free so that throughout humankind
a new spirit may come,
a new life and a new power to serve you in time and eternity.
Praise to your name that we can always have hope;
nothing can discourage us,
but everything must work together for good in accordance
with your great purpose.
Grant that your compassion may come to all the world,
to all peoples,
whom you have looked upon with mercy in sending Jesus Christ as Savior.



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

Amen

Praise to Your Name that we can always have hope. Praise God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen and Amen.

Isaiah 12 : 1-6

   
1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord,
I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me,
thine anger is turned away,
and thou comfortedst me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and not be afraid:
for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song;
he also is become my salvation.
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4 And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the Lord, call
upon his name,
declare his doings among the people,
make mention that his name is exalted.
5 Sing unto the Lord;
for he hath done excellent things:
this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout,
thou inhabitant of Zion:
for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.



Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

Open our hearts to the wonder of being able to call you Father,
the wonder of being united with you.
You are the source of all life and strength.
In you is redemption, and we need to be redeemed before we can live rightly.
Take from us the pressures forced on us by the flood of events.
Make us completely free as people led by your hand,
people who may be joyful because everything will be overcome through
the power you grant us in Jesus Christ.
Protect us from fear and from all evil.
Show more and more clearly your good and wonderful goal
for all people on earth,
so that in expectation they may find happiness
even in all the stress of today.



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

Amen

In the Hands of God, Amen and Amen.

1 Timothy 4 : 6-11

   
6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,
thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine,
whereunto thou hast attained.
7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables,
and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth little:
but godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life that now is,
and of that which is to come.
9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,
because we trust in the living God,
who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe.
11 These things command and teach.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank you for all you have done for us,
for all you are doing for us, for deliverance from need and death.
We thank you for all the signs you give us that
you hear our prayer when,
without wavering or weakening,
we set our hopes on you.
We thank you that we can be without fear of sin and death,
for you stand by us in everything.
In spite of our imperfections you show us your goodness again and again.
May the light in our hearts never be extinguished,
the light that enables us to look into heaven and earth
and see the good that is on its way to us today.
May joy remain with us,
and may we have the strength to be a community that
follows the paths of life which bring praise and honor to you.



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

Amen
