Two Kings 6

The king of Aram was at war with Israel.
But each time he planned an attack,
Elisha warned the king of Israel
and the attack was foiled.

The king of Aram therefore sent soldiers to capture Elisha.
Elisha prayed to God for help and the soldiers were temporarily blinded.

While they were blinded, Elisha led them to the king of Israel.
The king of Israel asked Elisha "Shall I kill them?"

Elisha told him not to kill them but to feed them and let them go.

After this there was peace for a time between Aram and Israel.

Dear God, please bless our enemies, and help us be kind to them


Psalm 144

Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who gives me strength for every situation.

He is my love, my fortress.
He is my stronghold, my savior.

To you, O God, will I sing a new song,
you who so often rescued David your servant.

Happy the people whose God is the Lord.
Please continue to bless your people, Lord.

Let our sons flourish like saplings
grown tall and strong from their youth;

our daughters graceful as columns,
adorned as though for a palace.

Let our crops and stock be blessed.
May there be no sound of weeping on our streets.

Lord, please help us love and honor you every day.
Don't let us ever forget your love


1 Timothy 5

Never accept an accusation brought against a church elder unless it is supported by two or three witnesses. 
If an elder is at fault, reprimand him publicly as a warning to others

Be fair to everyone and never be influenced by favoritism

As regards your frequent illnesses, I suggest you give up drinking only water,
and have a little wine for the sake of your digestion

Jesus, help church workers to be fair and impartial


Luke 18

Jesus told his disciples a story about the need to pray continually and never lose heart:

There was a judge who had neither fear of God nor respect for people.
In the same town there was a widow who kept asking the judge for justice
against someone who had wronged her

For a long time the judge refused to help her, but at last he said to himself
"I must give this widow her rights or she will pester me to death"

Even more so God will  see that justice is done for those who cry out to him for help day and night,
even if he delays to help them

Jesus, please give me the perseverance to pray each day
