Morning:

Pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me

to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt

thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I

find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Pray

for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which

thou hast given me; for they are thine. Neither pray I for

these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through

their word. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the

law of Christ.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth

much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he

prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on

the earth by the space of three years and six months.

James 5:16 Genesis 18:27-28 Luke 23:34 Matthew 5:44 John 17:9 John 17:20 Galatians 6:2 James 5:16-17

Evening:

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the

field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it,

and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our

hearts unto wisdom. What shall it profit a man, if he shall

gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower

fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. The world

passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will

of God abideth for ever.

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day

of salvation. Use this world, as not abusing it: for the

fashion of this world passeth away. Let us consider one another

to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the

assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;

but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the

day approaching.
