A WORD Read and a Word Lifted………………………..
And so I will give him a place of honor, a place among the great and mighty. He poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the criminals. He bore the sin of many and prayed that they might be forgiven. Isaiah 53:12
Dear Father in heaven, may we receive your Spirit so that we win the victory over ourselves and over the world around us, not with our human crudeness, force, and clamor, but only through your Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ. Help each of us in our own particular situation. We all know there is much evil around us; there is much we must fight. But in Jesus’ name we want to plunge right in, right into the world, right into whatever suffering is meant for us in the midst of the evil that is not yet over¬come. In Jesus’ name we go toward the great victory that will come when all who are granted your joy will praise you with all their hearts, O Father in heaven. Amen.
