April Twenty-Eighth ~
God's Daily Minute
“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In
everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning
you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast
that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of
peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 1 Thess.
5:16-23 ~
Create in us a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within us. Cast us not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit
form us. We commend to Thy loving protection all those for whom we long to pray
(especially those whom we now name in our hearts before thee ***).
Give to them all their heart’s desire, we pray Thee, in as
far as Thou seest it best, for Jesus sake. Bring each of us, O Father, to the
close of this day in peace and honor. For all those who love us so much better
than we deserve, we thank Thee. For their sakes, help us to sanctify ourselves
this day. And do Thou, O Lord, grant that we may abide steadfast in this
purpose, and by Thy continual aid be fully master of all the desires and
emotions of our hearts. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.
