Scripture and Prayer on Thursday, August 12, 2021

Pastor David reads Mark 10:32-45 and offers a prayer from Henry Martyn:

Send out your light and your truth, that I may live always near to you, my God. Let me feel your love, that I may be as it were already in heaven, that I may do my work as the angels do theirs; and let me be ready for every work, ready to go out or go in, to stay or depart, just as you direct. Lord, let me have no will of my own, or consider my true happiness as depending in the smallest degree on anything that happens to me outwardly, but as consisting totally in conformity to your will.

O God, who has warned us that you will require much from those to whom much is given: grant that we, whose lot is cast in so goodly a heritage, may strive together the more abundantly, by prayer, by almsgiving, by fasting, and by all appointed means, to extend to those who do not know you what we so richly enjoy; and as we have entered into the labors of others, so to labor, that others may enter into ours, to the fulfillment of your holy will and the salvation of all humankind; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Pastor David reads Mark 6:47-56 and offers a prayer from Lancelot Andrewes:

Glory be to you, O Lord,
for that you did create not only the visible light,
but the light invisible,
that which may be known of God, the law written in the heart;
give us a mind to perceive this light in
the oracles of prophets,
the melody of psalms,
the prudence of proverbs,
the experience of histories,
and the life and love of our Lord Jesus Christ,
for his sake.

Heavenly Father, who knows what we need, give us the necessities and comforts of this life with your blessing; but above all, give us the bread which nourishes us for eternal life.

Scripture and Prayer on Thursday, July 22, 2021

Pastor David reads Mark 5:1-20 and offers a prayer from Thomas Arnold:

O Lord, give your blessing, we pray, to our daily work, that we may do it in faith and heartily, as to the Lord and not to people.

All our powers of body and mind are yours, and we devote them to your service. Sanctify them, and the work in which we are engaged; and, Lord, so bless our efforts that they may bring forth in us the fruits of true wisdom.

Teach us to seek after truth and enable us to gain it; and grant that while we know earthly things, we may know you, and be known by you, through and in your Son Jesus Christ.

Scripture and Prayer on Wednesday, July 21, 2021

Pastor David reads Mark 4:35-41 and offers a prayer from Charles Wesley:

Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters rolls, while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.

Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing.

Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer?
Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall – Lo! on Thee I cast my care;
Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive,
Hoping against hope I stand, dying, and behold, I live.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in Thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity.
