Scripture and Prayer on Friday, April 16, 2021

Pastor David reads Daniel 3 and offers a prayer from St. Augustine:

O Lord,
The house of my soul is narrow;
enlarge it that you may enter in.
It is ruinous, O repair it!
It displeases Your sight.
I confess it, I know.
But who shall cleanse it,
to whom shall I cry but to you?
Cleanse me from my secret faults, O Lord,
and spare Your servant from strange sins.

What are the golden idols in our lives?

Scripture and Prayer on Thursday, April 15, 2021

Pastor David reads Daniel 2:31-49 and offers a prayer from James Alexander Forbes, Jr.:

Lord, teach us how to bear witness. Teach us how to be sensitive. Teach us where we are to stop. We can’t be everywhere. Take us by the hand, and lead us to the temples that you’d like us to stop by. Let us see the lame men and women that you would want us to help. Then give us the strength to get up on our feet. Enable us to declare with all that is within us that the Kingdoms of this world must become the Kingdoms of Jesus Christ.

What kingdoms do you put your hope in?

Eternal God,
the light of the minds that know you,

so to love you that we may fully serve you,
whom to serve is perfect freedom.

Almighty God, in whom we live and move and have our being, you have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until in you they find their rest.

What are your dreams?
