Genesis 35-36: God said to Jacob "Go to Bethel and live there." So Jacob moved to the area of Bethel. Not long after this, Rachel conceived another baby. But Rachel died in childbirth. Jacob named the baby boy Benjamin. In all, Jacob had 12 sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun  - their mother being Leah; Joseph and Benjamin - their mother being Rachel; Dan and Naphtali - their mother being Bilhah; Gad and Asher - their mother being Zilpah. Jacob and his family stayed in the land of Canaan, the land of his father Isaac. Esau and his family moved to the land of Edom.
Dear God, please bless and protect my brothers and sisters

Psalm 3:  When people make fun of me for believing in you, Lord, I deeply remember how you are my help and my shield. Even when the whole world seems against me, I can go to bed and sleep easy, knowing that you protect me. O Lord, please rescue me from people who plot against me. Lord our savior, please bless everyone who needs help.
Lord, thank you for your protection and help

1 Thessalonians 4.1-11: We urge you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus to make more and more progress in the kind of life you are meant to live. God wants you to be holy. He wants you to keep away from fornication. Live life peacefully. Get a decent job and earn your living
Jesus, make me be a better person, a better Christian

Matthew 15.29-31: Jesus went up into the hills near the Lake of Galilee. Large crowds came to him bringing the lame, the crippled, the blind, the dumb and many others. These they put down at Jesus' feet. Jesus healed them all. The crowds praised the God of Israel when they saw the dumb speaking, cripples whole again, the lame walking and the blind able to see.
Jesus, please give sick people more faith in your healing love

Reflection on the above Bible readings: Imagine the joy of being healed after being blind or crippled for many years!

Genesis 33-34: When Esau and Jacob met, Esau was friendly and kind to Jacob. Esau accepted all the gifts of animals that Jacob gave him. But Jacob continued to be wary of Esau. Jacob moved to Shechem. One of the men of Shechem raped and then wanted to marry Jacob's daughter, Dinah. Jacob and his sons craftily said they would agree to the marriage if all of the men of Shechem were circumcised. The men agreed. But on the third day while the Shechem men were still in a lot of pain Jacob's sons Simeon and Levi took matters into their own hands. They killed all the Shechem men, because their sister Dinah had been raped. Jacob did not approve of the killings.
Dear God, please bless and protect my brothers and sisters

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 2: Why are the nations revolting against God? Why won't the nations accept God? O kings and rulers of the nations, listen to God's voice. Serve the Lord with love and honor. Blessed are the nations that love the Lord
Let all the nations love you, Lord. Let all the nations love you

1 Thessalonians 3.11-13: May God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ make it easy for us to visit you again.

May the Lord so confirm your hearts in holiness, that you may be blameless in the sight of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all his saints
Jesus, please increase my love for the whole human race

Matthew 15.21-28: Jesus went to the coastal district near Tyre and Sidon. A foreign woman followed him and shouted "Sir, Son of David, have pity on me. My daughter is tormented by an evil spirit." At first Jesus did not answer her, so his disciples said to him "Help her, because she keeps shouting after us." Jesus replied "I was sent only to the people of Israel". The foreign woman by now was kneeling at Jesus' feet. "Lord, help me" she pleaded. Jesus said to her "Woman, you have great faith. Your wish is granted". At that very moment, her daughter was healed.
Jesus, please give sick people great faith in you

  Listen

Reflection on the above readings:  Psalm 2, above, prompts us to reflect that a nation, just like a person, can be Christian in theory but not in practice

Genesis 32: As Jacob returned to his own land of Canaan, he feared that his brother Esau would  try to kill him. So Jacob, always clever and wily, sent messengers ahead of him to make friends with Esau. The messengers reported that Esau was on his way to meet Jacob and had 400 men with him. This news increased Jacob's fears so he divided his family and flocks into two groups, thinking that if Esau attacked one group then the other group could escape. Jacob also prayed hard to God for protection. Jacob sent gifts of animals to Esau, hoping that Esau would be friendly to him. On the night before Jacob and Esau met, God appeared to Jacob and gave him a new name: Israel.
Dear God, please help me to be kind and clever
My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 1: Happy the person who avoids evil and evil entertainment. Happy the person who reads and meditates on God's words. Such a person is like a tree planted beside a river, getting plenty of nourishment, bearing plenty of fruit. Such a person is on the Way of Life. People who do evil are on the Way of Death. 
Dear Lord, please help me do good and avoid evil

Listen

 

1 Thessalonians 2.13-16: As soon as you heard the Good News, you accepted it as God's message and not just some human thinking. This message is still a living power among you. For the sake of the Good News, you have been badly treated by your own countrymen, just as Christians in Judea have been badly treated by the Jews. The Jews have been persecuting us and hindering us from spreading the Good News
Jesus, please help people who are being hindered from spreading the message of your love

Listen


 

John 6.59-69: After hearing what Jesus said about his flesh and blood, many of his disciples said "How can anyone believe in such crazy ideas?"  Many disciples then stopped following Jesus. Jesus said to the 12 apostles "What about you? Are you also going to leave me?" Peter replied "Lord, who shall we go to? You have the message of eternal life. We believe you are the Holy One of God"
Jesus, please don't ever let me stop following you

Listen

 

Reflection on the above readings: Some modern day Christians don't believe in the "Real Presence" of Jesus' Body and Blood. They say Jesus was only speaking metaphorically. Well, if he was only speaking metaphorically, how come so many of his followers left him?

Genesis 31: Jacob said to Rachel and Leah "You know how hard I have worked for your father, yet he has treated me unfairly - ten times he changed my wages. Now God has told me to go back to my own land. So, get ready, we are going." Jacob took his wives, children and livestock and left  - without telling Laban. Only after three days did Laban find out that Jacob had outsmarted him. Laban chased Jacob, but God told Laban not to hurt Jacob. So Laban made a treaty with Jacob and let him go on his way. 
Dear God, please help us to treat everyone fairly

Psalms 149 & 150: Sing a new song to the Lord. Let the praise of God be always on our lips. Praise God in his holy temple. Praise him in the heavens. O praise him with sound of trumpet.

Lord, to you we say every day "Allelu-ia" ("praise God")

1 Thessalonians 1.7 - 2.12: You are a great example to other believers, since it was from you that the word of the Lord spread to many places.

Let me remind you how we loved and served you, like loving parents caring for their dear children
Jesus, thank you for the people who nurtured me as a Christian

John 6.52-58: The people said among themselves  "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus replied "If you refuse to eat my flesh, and drink my blood, you will not have life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life. For my flesh is real food, and my blood is real drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I live in them. As I, who am sent by the living Father, myself draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me. This is the bread come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever"
Jesus, thank you for the gift of your Body and Blood in Holy Communion

Acts 2.22-36: Peter said to the crowd "You know that Jesus of Nazareth was a man from God. You know all about the miracles he worked. This same Jesus has been raised from the dead by God. There are many witnesses to his resurrection. Jesus has been taken up to God's right hand. He has received the Holy Spirit from the Father. He has poured out the Holy Spirit on us. Know for sure that Jesus whom you crucified is the Messiah and he is Lord".

Psalm 16: 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.

You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence, at your right hand, happiness for ever. 
Thank you, Lord, for the little joys you give us each day ....and the big joy you've prepared for us in Heaven.

1 Peter 1.13 - 2.3: Delete rubbish from your minds. Control your thinking. Trust more in Jesus. Live the way he wants you to live, not like the way you used to live before you learnt the truth. Be good and holy. Let your love for each other be real and from the heart. You are born again by the everlasting word of the living God. Never be spiteful, or deceitful, or hypocritical or envious and critical of each other.
Jesus, help me live the way you want me to live

Luke 24.13-35: That same day, two of Jesus' disciples were on their way from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, about 7 km from Jerusalem. As they talked about all that had happened, Jesus himself joined them as they walked along. But they did not recognize him. When Jesus asked them what they were talking about, they said "About Jesus of Nazareth,  and how our leaders had him crucified. And how some women in our group went to Jesus' tomb and were told by angels that he was alive". Jesus then explained the Scripture passages which predicted his suffering and resurrection. Jesus joined the two men for an evening meal. During the meal, he blessed  some bread and gave it to them. They then recognized him. But he immediately vanished from their sight. They said to each other "Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?" Straight away they returned to Jerusalem where the eleven apostles said to them "Yes, it is true. The Lord has risen". Then they told their story of what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus at the breaking of bread
Jesus, please make my heart burn within me as I read the Bible

Genesis 37: Jacob loved Joseph more than  his other sons because Joseph was the son of his old age. Jacob had a special coat of many colors made for Joseph. Joseph's older brothers were jealous of Joseph and hated him. Joseph had a dream: he became a famous person. This made his brothers hate him all the more. One day, when the brothers were looking after their sheep in a distant place, Jacob sent Joseph to see how they were. When the brothers saw Joseph coming some of them wanted to kill him. Eventually they sold Joseph to some slave traders for 20 silver pieces. The slave traders took Joseph to Egypt and re-sold him there. The brothers told Jacob that a wild animal had killed Joseph. Jacob was heart broken and mourned Joseph all the time.
Dear God, please help me not to be jealous of other people

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 148: Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights. Praise him all his angels, praise him all his spirits. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, shining stars. Let them praise the name of the Lord. His word gave life to all of them. Praise the Lord from the earth, sea creatures and all oceans. Praise him fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy winds that obey his word. Praise him all mountains and hills, all fruit trees and cedars. Praise him all animals, wild and tame, reptiles and birds in the air. Praise him all earth's kings and peoples, earth's princes and rulers. Praise him young men and maidens, old people together with children. Let them praise the name of the Lord.
He is the praise of all who love him.

Lord our God and Creator, you are worthy of all praise

1 Thessalonians 1.1-6: From Paul, Silvanus and Timothy to the Church of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in Thessalonika. Wishing you grace and peace.

When we brought the Good News to you, it came to you not just as words, but as power from the Holy Spirit. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, you accepted the Good News, despite great opposition from many quarters
Jesus, help people accept the Good News, despite opposition

John 6.42-51: The people criticized  Jesus saying "We know his father and mother. How can he say he has come down from heaven?" Jesus replied "I am the bread of life. If you eat this bread which has come down from heaven, you will live forever. I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world".

Genesis 30: Leah gave birth to four sons  - Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah. Rachel had no children and was jealous of her sister Leah. Rachel gave her servant girl Bilhah to Jacob and Bilhah gave birth to two sons - Dan and Naphtali. Leah then gave her servant girl Zilpah to Jacob and Zilpah gave birth to two sons - Gad and Asher. Leah herself had two more sons - Issachar and Zebulun and a daughter - Dinah. Finally Rachel had a baby, a son whom she named Joseph. For many long years Jacob worked for Laban but Laban would not let Jacob return to his own land.

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
