Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Our Father, help us to see you today in all
that we come into contact with, knowing that you use ordinary things to give us
an extraordinary sense of your presence in our lives. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Scripture Reading for the Day: Acts 4:1-13
Reading for Reflection:
The man who knows God
hears his step in the tramp of daily events, discerns him near at hand to help,
and hears his answer to the appeal of prayer in a hundred happenings outwardly
small and insignificant, where another man can talk only of remarkable
coincidence, amazing accident, or peculiar turns of events. That is why periods when the life of faith is
strong, and men have enthusiastically surrendered themselves to God, have also
been times rich in miracles.
~Walter Eichrodt

Closing Prayer: Deliver us, O God, when we draw near to you,
from coldness of heart and wanderings of mind: Grant that with steadfast
thoughts and kindled affections, we may worship you in Spirit and in
truth. Amen. (Venite by Robert
Benson)
