Scripture and Prayer for the Day……………………..
THURSDAY
One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize which is God’s call to the life above, in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13b–14
Dear Father in heaven, living source of all that is eternal in us, we come to you and plead with you to strengthen the gifts you have given us. Grant us the light of life in which we can walk in spite of the many burdens and uncertainties of our earthly life. Protect us from deception and disappointment. Strengthen our hope for y our steadfast, firm, and eternal rule in us, in many others, and finally in all men. Amen.
