John 15 : 13-21
KJV


13 Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends,
if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
but I have called you friends; for all things that
I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye
shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you,
that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world,
the world would love his own: but because ye
are not of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you,
The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;
if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you
for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We gather together in Your presence
and ask You to let Your light shine in our hearts
to strengthen us in times of need and trouble.
May we come to know that through all the storms
and distress of the world,
You are mighty in protecting and sheltering those
who trust in You.
May we realize the power of Your kingdom.
Even if all the kingdoms of the world rise in rebellion,
You are with us.
You are with those who have set their hope on
Your kingdom and who go on hoping that even in evil days
something must happen through
Your great and holy rule."


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

Amen
