Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: O Lord, help me to really believe. Help me to really believe that your heart for
me is good. Help me to really believe
that nothing can separate me from your love.
Help me to really believe that you will do what you say you will
do. Help me to take you at your
word. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Scripture Reading for the Day: 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
Reading for Reflection: Faith is the word that
describes the direction our feet start moving when we find that we are
loved. Faith is stepping out into the
unknown with nothing to guide us but a hand just beyond our grasp. (The
Magnificent Defeat by Frederick Buechner)

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Father and God, you know the work, the worry, and the weariness which, day by day, even week after week, weigh so heavily upon my life. So often I grow fain and fearful, disturbed and doubtful. I long for real peace and full assurance of faith. May I so wait upon you in daily prayer and be renewed with spiritual might that I shall fight the good fight and keep the faith. For Jesus’ sake I pray. Amen. (Daily Prayer Companion by Orien W. Fifer)
