O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

Tobit was a Jewish exile living in the city of Nineveh in Assyria.
Even though other Jewish exiles, even his own relatives,
neglected their religion, Tobit stayed loyal to God.

Tobit also cared for the poor and hungry.
And he made a special practice of burying the  dead.

Dear God, please help me to be like Tobit:
loyal to you and caring for the poor

Please protect me, Lord, I take refuge in you.
You are the only source of all true happiness.

I bless you, Lord, who guide and lead me.
Even at night you direct my heart.

And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad.
My body shall rest in safety now and always.

You will show me the path of life,
the fullness of joy in your presence

Thank you, Lord, for the little joys you give us each day
....and the big joy you've prepared for us in Heaven.

Tell people to keep their minds occupied in doing good works.
Avoid useless speculations about trivial matters

All believers, including elders, should try to be self-supporting

Grace be with you all

Jesus, help me be a doer and not just a talker

The men who arrested Jesus took him to the home of the main religious leader.
Peter followed at a distance

As Peter sat by a fire in the courtyard, a servant-girl said "This man was with Jesus".
Peter replied "Woman I do not know him"

A little while later, another person said "You are one of them".
Peter replied "I am not"

About an hour later, a man said "He was certainly with them. He is from Galilee".
Peter replied "I do not know what you are talking about"

While he was still speaking, a rooster crowed, and the Lord looked straight at Peter,
and Peter remembered what the Lord had said,
"Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times"

Peter went outside and cried bitterly

Jesus, don't let me ever deny that I know you
