Daily Prayer - Sunday
Sunday Give thanks to God for His character, perfect, unchangeable, the same yesterday today and forever. Give thanks to God that we can meet in the church and have fellowship with one another. Pray the Lord would grant the preaching of his word power and clarity, and there are ready ears to hear and believe it. (2 Thes. 3.1.).

Hushai sendeth intelligence secretly to David, who in haste passeth over Jordan. Ahithophel hangeth himself. Amasa is made captain of Absalom's host. David's friends furnish him wit provisions of Mahanaim. 2 Samuel 17 Preface - Paul entreateth the Corinthians not to leave him cause to exert against them that spiritual power; with which he was armed, and meant to chastise those, who undervalued his person and apostolical character. He pointeth out the difference between those, who for want of looking beyond themselves were arrogant and vain, intruding into, and taking merit from, the labours of others, and himself, who kept strictly within the province allotted him by God, and avoiding self-commendation, sought honour from the commendation of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10 Daily Light - Morning We know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. - Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good. All things are yours; whether....the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. - All things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Ro. 8.28; Ps. 76.10; Ge. 50.20 1 Co. 3.21-23; 2 Co. 4.15-17 Jas. 1.2-4 Daily Light - Evening The communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knowethhim: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. - He shall not speak of himself.... He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. - Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. - The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 2 Co. 13.14; Jn. 14.16-17; Jn. 16.13,14 Ro. 5.5 1 Co. 6.17; 1 Co. 6.19 Eph. 4.30; Ro. 8.26 A Puritans Catechism Q 32 - What is justification? A - Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein he pardons all our sins, and accepts us as righteous in his sight, only for the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and received by faith alone. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of the Holy Scriptures Chapter 1 PARAGRAPH 1 The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience, 1 although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men inexcusable; yet they are not sufficient to give that knowledge of God and His will which is necessary unto salvation. 2 Therefore it pleased the Lord at sundry times and in diversified manners to reveal Himself, and to declare (that) His will unto His church; 3 and afterward for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan, and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; which makes the Holy Scriptures to be most necessary, those former ways of God's revealing His will unto His people being now completed. 4 1 2 Tim. 3:15–17; Is. 8:20; Luke 16:29,31; Eph. 2:20 2 Rom. 1:19-21, 2:14–15; Psalm 19:1-3 3 Heb. 1:1 4 Prov. 22:19-21; Rom. 15:4; 2 Pet. 1:19–20 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Distance makes no difference But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 22 v 32 Brethren, if you had been behind some of the trees on Tabor's mount, and heard Him mention your name in prayer, saying, I do not pray for Peter only, or for James, or John, but for this soul. Father, sanctify this soul through thy truth. Father, I will that this soul be with me where I am, that it may behold my glory. Say, doubting sinner, if you had heard Christ mentioning thy name, would it not have given you peace? Does distance make any difference? Suppose you heard a friend praying for you in the next room, or suppose you were told that a friend residing in a foreign land prayed for you, would it make any difference? Now, suppose you are told Christ prays for you - for He prays for all His believing people - will you not take the comfort of it?
