Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, host Hunter invites us on a journey through the Scriptures as we read and reflect together on the 20th day of September. We dive into powerful stories from Daniel, witnessing the mysterious handwriting on the wall for King Belshazzar, Daniel’s unwavering faith in the lions' den, and the transformation of kingdoms. We also hear from Psalm 130, as the psalmist calls out to God from the depths, reminding us of the hope and forgiveness found in Him. Then, in the Gospel of Luke, we meet John the Baptist preparing the way for Jesus, culminating in the genealogy of Christ—from Adam to the Son of God. Hunter reminds us that Jesus, the second Adam, brings hope, life, and joy where the first Adam brought sorrow and death. Through prayer and daily encouragement, you’ll be invited to trust in the One who answers every cry and brings redemption to our lives. Let’s open our hearts, lean into the story, and remember together: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A Son has been given. That’s what Luke tells us in today’s reading. In fact, so many sons are given, all leading up to and pointing toward the Son—the Son of God. John the Baptist is the last herald before God himself announces that his Son has finally come. Jesus, the second Adam, is here. Where the first Adam failed, this Adam will not. All the loss and sorrow and death that entered with Adam, Jesus comes to set right. The Father in heaven declares, “He’s my boy, and he brings me great joy.” In Christ, we see the answer to all that is wrong with this world. He brings joy, redemption, and life. He sets things right. Luke’s genealogy echoes through the generations—“the son of, the son of”—from Adam to Jesus, seventy-seven times, pointing to this moment when God comes to us, takes on flesh, and stands in our place. All of the prophets, all of history, point us here. The crowds, the tax collectors, the soldiers, the religious—all come with the same yearning question: “What should we do?” John’s answer is clear: “Look to the Lamb of God. He takes away the sin of the world.” Jesus, the second Adam, takes away our sin and gives us life. He has already accomplished what needed to be done. He has reconciled the world to himself. So, look to the Son—the one with whom God is pleased. Trust in him, walk with him. He’s been given to you, to us, to meet us right where we are. Let’s look to him, listen for his voice, and follow. That’s the prayer I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and ...

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, we journey together through the 19th day of September, exploring Ezekiel chapters 47 and 48, and the rich narrative of Luke 2. Hunter invites us to remember that we are deeply loved by God, crafted as His workmanship—His “poema,” or poem. Together, we witness the prophetic vision of rivers of life flowing from the temple and the joyful arrival of Jesus in Bethlehem, marveling at how Mary “stored away” these mysteries in her heart. Through Scripture, reflection, and heartfelt prayer, we’re encouraged to trust, wait, and store up God’s promises—especially in the midst of life’s uncertainties, pains, and joys. Whether you’re feeling stuck or full of hope, this episode reminds us all that God sees, knows, and loves us, and invites us to rest in that truth. So grab your Bible and join us as we listen, reflect, and pray—believing together that, no matter what, you are beloved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: She stored it in her heart. That’s what Luke tells us Mary did in the midst of miracle, mystery, and uncertainty. The fear, the promise, the disappointments—they weren’t explained away, they weren’t denied or avoided. Mary simply held these things, treasured them, stored them up in faith, trusting that God was present, that she was seen, known, and loved, and that God’s purpose would be fulfilled—even when she didn’t understand. That is a posture we can learn from. God doesn’t always offer explanations. There are things that won’t make sense, that cause us to wonder, to worry, or even to ache. But like Mary, we can become willing vessels—simply storing up these moments, these pains, these memories, these promises, these mysteries—in our hearts as we wait for the fullness of God’s purpose to be revealed. Mary did this when shepherds showed up with stories of angels, declaring her child to be the Messiah; she tucked their words away. When prophets in the temple spoke difficult, prophetic words over her son, she accepted it, even the part about a sword piercing her own soul. And when Jesus as a twelve-year-old stayed behind in his Father’s house, she didn’t understand, but she didn’t dismiss it. She simply carried it in her heart, resting in faith, trusting that the story was still unfolding, that God’s word would not fail. What are you storing in your heart today? Are there unfulfilled hopes? Are there mysteries, losses, confusions that you can’t explain? Do you know—like Mary—that you are seen, known, and loved by God? You, too, are God’s workmanship, his “poema,” dear to his heart. There can be a holy willingness in you, an openness to let God have your story, its questions and its pain, its uncertainty and its hope. To simply store it away, not as something to be solved, but as a mystery to be revealed in God’s perfect time. Let your heart be a vessel, waiting with faith to see what God will do. Be available to him. Be resting and willing—even amidst all that you do not know or understand. That’s the invitation for my life. That’s the prayer for my own soul, for my family, and for you. May we, like Mary, store these things in our hearts, trusting that in God’s time and by God’s love, it will all become clear and good. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen...

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the pages of Scripture, warming our hearts by the fires of God’s love. In today’s episode, host Hunter invites us into the readings for September 18th, guiding us through the sacred instructions of Ezekiel 45 and 46 and the opening chapter of Luke’s Gospel. We’ll discover God’s faithful provision and call to justice as land is divided among the tribes of Israel, and hear about honest measures, offerings, and sacred rituals in Ezekiel. Then, we transition to a new season of hope in Luke, as angelic visitations to Zechariah and Mary set the stage for the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus—two children marking the dawn of redemption. Throughout the episode, Hunter reflects on the songs of Zechariah and Mary, reminding us that God’s light breaks into the darkness and that even the lowly are seen and blessed. Through prayer and encouragement, we’re invited to let faith rise, join the chorus of the redeemed, and embrace the new mercies each day brings. Whether you’re feeling weary or hopeful, today’s episode offers fresh encouragement: God is present, His purposes endure, and—you are loved. Let’s step forward together, letting His joy be our strength. TODAY’S DEVOTION: Because of God’s tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us each new day. The morning light breaks through the night’s darkness, and each new day is but a rehearsal for that one day when the light of God’s Son arrives. He will give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and he will guide us all to the path of peace. Zechariah’s song is a song worth singing. It is because of God’s tender mercy that this morning light is about to break upon us. And Mary has a song, too. And she sings, “How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he took notice of his lowly servant girl.” God’s light shines upon the lowly. His light breaks upon the humble—on all who are willing to let God be God in them, on all who are willing to believe that all that God says he will do, he will do. When our humble faith meets God’s merciful morning light, his song rises within us, and we begin to experience something new. Zechariah and Mary have a song. And if we want, we have a song too. When we meet each day with faith and the possibility that God is with us, that God is good enough, big enough to meet us and favor us in our lowliness, in our hunger, in our shame, in our lowly lives—when we begin to encounter the God of love—a song begins to rise up in us. Join Zechariah and Mary and all those who humbly believe that God is good enough to take notice of the lowly, and that he is big enough to do what he said he would do. So let that song rise up and join in with John and Mary, lifting your voices in praise to him. That’s a prayer that I have for my own soul. That’s the prayer that I have for my wife, for my daughters and my son. And that’s a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, Florence Atiega kicks things off with a heartfelt community greeting, reminding us all that we are loved. As we continue our 261st day in the journey through the Bible, we dive deep into Ezekiel chapters 42 through 44, where detailed visions of the temple layout, the holiness of God’s dwelling, and the responsibilities of the priests take center stage. We then soar to the breathtaking promises found in Revelation 22, where John describes the crystal-clear river of life and the ultimate restoration and glory awaiting God’s people. As always, we reflect on God’s word, letting it shape and transform us. Florence leads us in thoughtful prayer, inviting God’s presence, peace, and mercy into our day. The episode also features warm check-ins from listeners around the world before a grateful shout-out to the faithful supporters who make this daily podcast possible. Whether you’re joining from Maryland or the far reaches of the globe, settle in—let’s soak in the Scriptures together, discover God’s heart, and remember this powerful truth: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: John sees a river called life. It’s crystal clear—radiant, transparent, a perfect reflection of the truth and beauty found in the One who is Life itself. John invites us to join him, to look together into those crystal waters and behold something marvelous: the very glory of God, revealed as in a mirror. In that vision, we not only see God as He truly is but also discover ourselves as we truly are—loved, cherished children of God. Paul, in 2 Corinthians, tells us that as we behold God's glory, we are being transformed “from glory to glory.” The veils that have obscured God’s true heart, all the lies that have separated us from Him and plunged us into darkness and despair—those will be removed. The day is coming when we’ll see with clear, unveiled faces. In that moment, seeing the face of Jesus, we will discover the deepest hope of our hearts: that we belong, that we bear the family resemblance, that we are His. John tells us the river of life is not just for a future day. Even here and now, as we look to Jesus through the Scriptures, as we meditate on His goodness and see His fingerprints in creation, those veils begin to lift. Day by day, we gain greater clarity of who God is—and who we are in Him. As we let His Word and His presence wash over us, we are transformed to live as His beloved. Every moment spent in His presence is a glimpse of that crystal river, a taste of the unveiled life that is to come. That’s a prayer I have for my soul—may I see with unveiled face. It’s a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it’s a prayer I have for you. May we all come to the river and see, and know, and reflect the glory of the Lord. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, “September 16th, 2025,” host Hunter invites us to gather around the Scriptures and discover what God is saying to us on day 260 of our journey. We’ll explore detailed visions of the temple in Ezekiel 40 and 41, the blessings of Psalm 128, and the promise of a new heaven and new earth in Revelation 21. Hunter walks us through these passages as our Bible reading coach, highlighting how the temple—once the epicenter of sacrifice and divine presence—is ultimately eclipsed by Jesus, the true source of life, light, and hope. Heather joins to share a personal reflection on change, using a story about Portland’s migrating swifts as a reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness amidst life’s transitions. Together, we close with heartfelt prayers and encouragement to embrace the new seasons God brings. Settle in as we warm our hearts by the fires of God’s love, and remember—no matter what changes, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The story of sacrifice is no more. That’s what stands out in today’s readings—a whole narrative built around altars, offerings, and a temple, with its Most Holy Place, fades away. In Ezekiel, we see exact measurements for the place where heaven and earth would meet, the space where God would, by design, invite broken humanity into his holy presence through sacrifice. The temple stood as the epicenter of Israel’s worship and God’s bridge to his people. Every room, every altar, every detail pointed forward, always and only ever pointing us to him—the Lamb. But in Revelation, John sees something altogether new. The story changes. There is no more temple, because there is no more need for it: “I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” Even the sun and the moon, those keepers of time, are no more. All that once gave structure and symbol to history has been eclipsed. Darkness, suffering, and death are gone. The instruments of sacrifice have given way to the fullness of what they pointed towards—Jesus himself. What remains? Life. The Lamb’s Book of Life. Jesus, the Lamb, has brought history to its completion. All stories are now dissolved into his, and only he remains, shining brighter than the sun, illuminating the city, and infusing every moment with the glory of God. The story of God’s unfailing love has reached its apex, and you have been woven into that story. Your name, written in his book, means you share his eternal life and light. So now, we are called to live in that light, to abide in him, to let his life become ours. All other stories fall away. The seasons change. The world shifts around us. But here is something that endures, unchanging: you are written into the very life of Christ. The Lamb is your temple. The Lamb is your life. That’s a prayer I have for my own soul. That’s a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that’s a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today’s episode, host Hunter guides us through a powerful journey in scripture, reading from Ezekiel 38–39, Psalm 145, and Revelation 20. As we encounter dramatic visions of battles, God’s justice, and the ultimate defeat of evil, Hunter gently reminds us to keep our eyes on the true plot—the revelation of Jesus Christ. Rather than getting lost in the mysteries or using enigmatic passages as doctrine, we’re invited to approach them with humility, seeking the voice and presence of Jesus at the center. With heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, and gratitude for the Daily Radio Bible community’s 12-year journey, this episode encourages us to find joy, stay grateful, and remember that we are loved as we walk together through the Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Let's get this story straight. Today, as we read through these mysterious passages in Ezekiel and Revelation, it can be easy to lose sight of what the real story is. We hear about Gog and Magog, armies and battles, the lake of fire, and the great serpent—images that are thick with mystery, allegory, and sometimes even confusion. It’s tempting, when we see this language of judgment and wrath, to let our hearts fixate on retribution. When we witness injustice or pain in our world, we understandably desire for wrongs to be set right, for evildoers to pay. And if we aren’t careful, we can let that longing color how we read God’s story—loading mysterious passages with our own longing for vengeance, making God in our own image, a God primarily defined by judgment and retribution. But that isn't the real plot. John, in writing Revelation, tells us that this is “an apocalypse, a revelation of Jesus Christ.” The story is about Him. The Bible is always pointing us to Jesus—the living Word, the One who alone has the words of life. All of Scripture, even the perplexing and cryptic parts, ultimately draw us back to His love and His life. This means we must approach passages like these with humble, reverent caution. Even early Church leaders understood that the book of Revelation was shrouded in mystery—they allowed the book, but advised the church not to use it to build doctrine. They knew that sometimes the cipher, the interpretive key, was lost, and it would be dangerous to presume mastery over God's mysteries. So we come not as know-it-alls, but as listeners with open hands and hearts, asking to hear the voice of Jesus, trusting Him to be the plot and the point. Paul called himself not a master of doctrines, but a servant of Christ and a steward of the mysteries of God. That’s our invitation too: not to solve mathematical riddles, but to encounter a living Savior, to let His presence set our hearts on fire as He did for those disciples on the road to Emmaus. To walk with our Rabbi, to be students of His mystery and His love, allowing Him to be the interpretive key for every page. Because Jesus is the unveiling of God. He is the heart and hope of every story. When we hold onto Him as the center, both the clear and the confusing scriptures begin to take on new light. Life in Him is more beautiful and hopeful than we could have dreamed. That’s my prayer today—that I will hold fast to this plot, to Jesus our Rabbi. That I’ll hear His voice, know His joy, and let His story shape my story. That’s the prayer I have for myself, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and that’s the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender we find abundance. In mercy we discover grace. And in dying we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and...

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where together we journey through the pages of Scripture. In today’s episode, host Hunter invites us to reflect on September 14th’s readings from Ezekiel 36–37, Psalm 110, and Revelation 19. As we listen, we are drawn into vivid images of restoration, hope, and the powerful promises of God—a valley of dry bones brought back to life, a unified people, and a vision of the one who is the Resurrection and the Life. Hunter reminds us that, even in times of adversity and doubt, God’s purpose remains: to reveal His true nature as a loving and powerful King who brings life where there was once only death and despair. Through prayer and thoughtful reflection, this episode encourages us to see ourselves and our world through God’s eyes—understanding that what He offers us in Christ is a gift of new life, hope, and joy, not because we earned it, but because of His immeasurable love. Settle in as we draw encouragement from Scripture, join in heartfelt prayers, and remember together that we are deeply loved by God. TODAY'S DEVOTION: TODAY'S DEVOTION: People have the wrong impression about God. And God is going to correct that. When people see the suffering and hardship of God's people, they have the mistaken impression that God isn't good or that he's not powerful enough to help them when they really need it. They're wrong about that. They have the wrong impression. But God's going to help us all see, like he helped Ezekiel see. It's a vision in a valley of dry, dismembered, dead, lifeless bones, skeletons littering the valley. God desires to correct our wrong impression by impressing us with this amazing vision. For at his word, God resurrects these bones into living, breathing bodies. He restores them to life. And God is clear that it's not because they deserve it, but because he wants them and us to have the right impression of him. He wants us and the whole world to know what he's truly like. He's like David, Ezekiel tells us, a good shepherd and a loving and powerful king. But he's far better than David. It's important that we have the right impression. He is the one who was raised from the dead. He is the one who offers all of us dead, lifeless people resurrection, life. When we look at him, we get the right impression. We understand fully what God is truly like. We see what God is offering us through his Son. He offers us life, hope, joy, love—the life we've always wanted, a life we didn't earn, but one that we have received. This is what can happen if we get the right impression. May God impress you today with who he is and who you have become. He is the resurrection and the life, and this is what he has done. He has resurrected and given life to the dead. First Corinthians 15 says, "For as in Adam, all die, even so, in Christ all shall be made alive." God has breathed life into the sons and daughters of Adam. This is God's vision. This is what God was up to in Christ. This is what he has finished and completed. This is the impression God wants us to see and understand. And it's all a gift from the God of love. May God open our eyes to see him, what he's done, and what we have become. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the ...

    TODAY'S DEVOTION:

    TODAY'S PRAYERS:

    Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.

    Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

    And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen

    And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

    Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

    Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
