John 3 : 25-36
KJV


25 Then there arose a question between some of
John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi,
he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness,
behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing,
except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said,
I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:
but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him,
rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice:
this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all:
he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth:
he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard,
that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath
set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:
for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son,
and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.



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

2 Peter 1 : 1-8
KJV


1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through
the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through
the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto
us all things that pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence,
add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound,
they make you that ye shall neither be barren
nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.



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

Psalm 3 : 1-8
KJV


1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me!
many are they that rise up against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice,
and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people,
that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God:
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;
thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:
thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Our Father in heaven and on earth,
we are thankful that You have a people to whom You say,
"You are mine."
Grant that we too may belong to this people.
Strengthen us in the faith that we belong to You,
so that we can come to know Your rule and Your justice.
Protect us on all the paths we follow during
our time on earth.
The times are evil,
but come what may, every single one of us
has in his heart the certainty,
"We are Yours."
You have long watched over us and kept us safe.
Again and again we affirm,
"We are Yours, Lord our God,
through Jesus Christ our Savior."


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

Amen

[whatapain]

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.”

[Charon]

Amen to both posters and their prayers.
