Two Kings 19

King Hezekiah asked the prophet Isaiah for advice.
Isaiah said to the king:

"The Lord says 'Do not be afraid of the King of Assyria.
He shall not enter Jerusalem.
I will protect this city and save it.'"

That same night the angel of the Lord struck the Assyrian camp
with a type of plague which killed thousands of men.

The Assyrians then went back to their own land
and did not attack Jerusalem.

Dear God, please protect ....... (the city where I am living now)


Psalm 147

Praise the Lord for he is good.
Sing to our God for he is loving.
To him our praise is due.

The Lord builds up Jerusalem
and brings back Israel's exiles.

He heals the broken-hearted
and binds up all their wounds.

The Lord raises the lowly
and humbles the wicked.

He fixes the number of the stars.
He calls each one by name.

Our Lord is great and almighty.
His wisdom can never be measured.

He covers the heavens with clouds.
He prepares rain for the earth,

making mountains sprout with grass
and with plants to serve our needs.

His delight is not in horses
nor his pleasure in warriors' strength.

The Lord delights in those who love and honor him,
in those who wait for his love.

It is right and fitting to praise and love you, Lord our Creator


1 Timothy 6

Warn people who are rich in this world's goods that they are not to look down on others.
Tell them not to set their hopes on money, but on God who, out of his riches, gives us all we need for happiness

Tell rich people to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and willing to share. 
In this way they will have a healthy account in the Bank of Heaven

Jesus, please help rich people do more to help poor people


Luke 18

A young man from a prominent family asked Jesus "What must I do to inherit eternal life?"

Jesus replied "You know the commandments: you must not commit adultery, you must not kill,
you must not steal, you must honor your father and mother"

The man answered "I have kept all these commandments all my life"

Jesus then said "There is still one higher goal: sell all  you own,
give the money to the poor, then come follow me"

But when the man heard this he was very sad, because he was very rich

Jesus, please help me follow you the way you want me to follow you
