Psalm 25 : 8-9
KJV


1 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed,
let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
for thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember, O Lord,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth,
nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy
remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
8 Good and upright is the Lord:
therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek will he guide in judgment:
and the meek will he teach his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For thy name's sake, O Lord,
pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

1 Corinthians 13 : 1-9
KJV


1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy,
and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge;
and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned,
and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies,
they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Our Father in heaven,
bless us who have become united in our hope in You
and in our expectation of Your help on this earth,
where people live in all kinds of foolish ways.
Bless Your Word within us.
Grant us Your Holy Spirit to restore life and
gladness to our hearts, even in grief and suffering.
Grant this not only in the distress of the whole world,
but also in our own lives as long as we remain on this earth.
Let signs be seen on every hand that You help us and
give us a strength we can rely on.
You help us in all circumstances every day, every year, ever anew.
For this we thank You and praise Your name.


In the Name of the Most Holy we

Amen

1 Peter 2 : 17-25
KJV


17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood.
Fear God. Honour the king.
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear;
not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy,
if a man for conscience toward God endure grief,
suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if,
when ye be buffeted for your faults,
ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well,
and suffer for it, ye take it patiently,
this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin,
neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again;
when he suffered, he threatened not;
but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray;
but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.



Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You for making us into a community whose
refuge and certainty is Jesus Christ.
We thank You that he will not remain hidden from us forever; His life will be
revealed, perhaps soon, in our times. Lord God, how long,
how long have Your children waited!
Now a new time is coming, the end of this age, and we rejoice in
this even if You must also judge and punish.
No matter what happens, we are at peace.
We live in your future, in the future of Jesus Christ,
in the great day when humankind will receive the Spirit and their
old works will come to an end. Be with us.
Bless us this night and help us in what we have most on our hearts.
We have so much on our hearts,
but You see everything and You know our needs. Lord God,
Your grace will overcome all earthly troubles,
and Your name will be glorified on earth if only there is a
church that believes and truly awaits Your help.
Praise to Your name!
You have done immeasurably much for us
and You will do even more.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Proverbs 12 : 18-28
KJV


18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:
but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever:
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil:
but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21 There shall no evil happen to the just:
but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord:
but they that deal truly are his delight.
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge:
but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:
but a good word maketh it glad.
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour:
but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting:
but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
28 In the way of righteousness is life:
and in the pathway thereof there is no death.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We thank You that we can be children of Your Spirit.
We thank You that because you have called us,
we receive eternal gifts that enable us to
stand firm even when many sorrows and
burdens weigh us down.
For You are our life,
and in all the darkness,
even that of death,
You give us light and strength and joyful hope.
Keep these alive in us.
May an ever brighter light shine on all
that You have already put into our hearts,
on all that draws us daily to You.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Luke 12 : 23-32
KJV


23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap;
which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them:
how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least,
why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not;
and yet I say unto you,
that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field,
and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you,
O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:
and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure
to give you the kingdom.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

Whose light shines out of the darkness and gleams brightly into our hearts,
we thank You for all the goodness You allow us to see.
We want to see Your goodness clearly and
have confidence in it,
no matter how much around us is dark and disquieting.
We want to remain firm and full of trust,
looking to what You have put into our hearts
so that we may come to know You.
Be with us with Your Spirit.
Lead us to realize ever more clearly that
we are made for Your honor.


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

Amen

[Charon]

Whose light shines out of the darkness and gleams brightly into our hearts,
