Prayer
Psalm 8
God’s majesty is praised. Every human sound is praise
to God. And the psalmist marvels at that. How is it that humans have such a
special place when we consider the expanse of the heavens? The psalm ends in
awe, wonder and praise.
Matthew 6: 7 – 15
Jesus teaches us how to pray quietly, not for show and
not to ask for things from God – like forgiveness – that we deny to others.
Jesus gives us The Lord’s Prayer.

Prayer
Genesis 1: 1 – 2: 4a
In the beginning the wind from God swept over the
formless void and began the creative process. Creation began and culminated in
a Sabbath day when God saw that all that had been created was good and God
rested.
Psalm 20
The first psalm begins as a bidding prayer asking that
the King’s prayers be heard and answered. God is the one in the community
trusts, not men or chariots.
Ephesians 4: 1 – 6 and 17 - 32
There is one Lord, one faith one baptism, one God and
father of all. We are therefore to seek unity and to forgive. We are to put
away our former selves and instead clothe our selves in righteousness and
holiness. We are to speak the truth. We can be angry but we are not to sin. We
are to be honest and speak in ways that build each other up and strengthen each
other and share the grace of God.
Bitterness, wrath, wrangling, slander and malice need
to be put away forever instead we are to be kind, tender hearted and forgiving.
