O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace: Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union and concord: that, as there is but one Body, and one Spirit, and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all; so we may henceforth be all of one heart, and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and with one mind and one mouth glorify you, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Daily Scripture & Prayer from May 5, 2021

Scripture and Prayer on Wednesday, May 5, 2021

Pastor David reads Romans 13 and offers a prayer, the text to the hymn “Jesus Shall Reign,” by Isaac Watts:

Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does its successive journeys run.
His kingdom spread from shore to shore,
‘Til moons shall wax and wane no more.

To him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

Let every creature rise and bring
Its grateful honors to our King;
Angels decend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud “Amen!”

Pastor David reads Colossians 3:1-17 and offers a prayer from Origen:

Jesus, my feet are dirty. Come even as a slave to me, pour water into your bowl, come and wash my feet. In asking such a thing I know I am overbold, but I dread what was threatened when you said to me, “If I do not wash your feet I have no fellowship with you.” Wash my feet then, because I long for your companionship.
