Today's Passage: John 14: 25-27
These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Today's Prayer:
Oh Lord, we love you.
We acknowledge that you are the same yesterday and today and forever. Our circumstances cannot and will not change you or surprise you.
We praise you for your spirit that has been poured out on us.
We confess that we forget you and we need your Spirit to help us remember you in all things.
As we pray and fast today, remind us of your words & the ways in which you have taught us. Fill us with hope knowing that you will never leave us or forsake us and you will continue to teach us as we walk along.
Give us peace where we feel hopeless or afraid or restless.
Give us joy where there is sadness or longing.
Help us to look to you in all things & for all things.
We love you.
Amen.
