O God of all power, you called from death the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus: comfort and defend the flock which he has redeemed through the blood of the everlasting covenant.

Pastor David reads John 4:43-54 and offers a prayer from Anselm:
I acknowledge, Lord, and I give thanks that you have created your image in me, so that I may remember you, think of you, love you. But this image is so obliterated and worn away by wickedness, it is so obscured by the smoke of sins, that it cannot do what it was created to do, unless you renew and reform it. I am not attempting, O Lord, to penetrate your loftiness, for I cannot begin to match my understanding with it, but I desire in some measure to understand your truth, which my heart believes and loves. For I do not seek to understand in order that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this too I believe, that “unless I believe, I shall not understand.”

Pastor David reads John 4:1-26 and offers a prayer from Bernard of Clairvaux:
Jesus, the very thought of thee
with sweetness fills the breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art;
how good to those who seek.But what to those who find? Ah, this
no tongue nor pen can show:
the love of Jesus, what it is,
none but his loved ones know.Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be.
Jesus, be thou our glory now
and through eternity.Posted by Mt. Haley Church of God on Wednesday, August 12, 2020

Pastor David reads John 3:1-21 and offers a prayer from Desiderius Erasmus:
Lord Jesus Christ, you said that you are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Help us not to stray from you, for you are the Way;
nor to distrust you, for you are the Truth;
nor to rest on any other than you, as you are the Life.
You have taught us what to believe, what to do, what to hope, and where to take our rest.
Give us grace to follow you, the Way, to learn from you, the Truth, and live in you, the Life.Posted by Mt. Haley Church of God on Monday, August 10, 2020

Scripture and Prayer on Friday, August 7, 2020
Pastor David reads John 1:43-51 and offers a prayer from Anselm:
Jesus, as a mother you gather your people to you;
You are gentle with us as a mother with her children.
Often you weep over our sins and our pride;
Tenderly you draw us from hatred and judgment.
You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds;
In sickness you nurse us,
And with pure milk you feed us.
Jesus, by your dying we are born to new life;
By your anguish and labor we come forth in joy.
Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness;
Through your gentleness we find comfort in fear.
Your warmth gives life to the dead;
Your touch makes sinners righteous.
Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us;
In your love and tenderness, remake us.
In your compassion, bring grace and forgiveness;
For the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.Posted by Mt. Haley C
