My Daily Prayers and Readings for 11/13/2010
< >< My Prayer >< >
To persevere in good and prayer requires awareness of Your grace and will; just as under the sun I hope to persevere despite the temptations and challenges I face daily, even when those who upon seeing good may want or try to cause me to stumble, I must stay on guard and in conscious prayer aware that it is by grace I have been forgiven, by grace I have be made aware of Your presence and will and that by that grace I will persevere if I stay focused on Your will – seeking and wanting to be in line with Your will. For how can I stay down when I stumble, how can I stay lost when I stray, how can I not pray when I feel down or lost and or a lone, how can I not seek Your will when I feel and know all You have blessed me with; I cannot – I can only do and seek that which You planted in my heart, to love, know and be with You.
Abba Father in the name of Christ Jesus who lives within me through the Holy Spirit I pray that You create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me, for my one walk in and with Jesus today. Asking that You bless me and mine in fulfillment of Your will and keep us from evil and pain. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

November – “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
Today – I AM CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of Glory. The One who walks beside you, holding you by your hand, is the same One who lives within you. This is a deep, unfathomable mystery. You and I are intertwined in an intimacy involving every fiber of your being. The Light of My Presence shines within you, as well as upon you. I am in you, and you are in Me; therefore, nothing in heaven or on earth can separate you from Me!
As you sit quietly in My Presence, your awareness of My Life within you is heightened. This produces the Joy of the Lord, which is your strength. I, the God of hope, fill you with, all Joy and Peace as you trust in Me, so that you may bubble over with, hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
COLOSSIANS 1:27, ISAIAH 42:6, NEHEMIAH 8:10, ROMANS 15:13 (AMP)

Reading 1 3 Jn 5-8
Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers and sisters,
especially for strangers;
they have testified to your love before the Church.
Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.
For they have set out for the sake of the Name
and are accepting nothing from the pagans.
Therefore, we ought to support such persons,
so that we may be co-workers in the truth.

Gospel Lk 18:1-8
Jesus told his disciples a parable
about the necessity for them to pray always without becoming weary.
He said, “There was a judge in a certain town
who neither feared God nor respected any human being.
And a widow in that town used to come to him and say,
‘Render a just decision for me against my adversary.’
For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought,
‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being,
because this widow keeps bothering me
I shall deliver a just decision for her
lest she finally come and strike me.’”
The Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says.
Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones
who call out to him day and night?
Will he be slow to answer them?
I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.
But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
