Judges
3: Some of the Israelites
forgot the Lord their God
and worshipped false gods. As a result, they were
enslaved by the king of Edom for 8 years. They cried to God for
help
and God raised up Othniel, a nephew of Caleb,
to lead and rescue them. Then the land enjoyed
peace for 40 years. But when Othniel died,
the Israelites again began to do what displeases the Lord,
and were again enslaved, this time by Eglon king of Moab,
for 18 years.
Once more they cried to
the Lord for help
and he raised up Ehud, a
left-hander. As Ehud presented
tribute to Eglon,
he said to Eglon:
"I have a secret message for you".
When they were alone, Eglon thought he was safe,
because Ehud's knife was on his right thigh.
Ehud then used his left-hand to grab the knife unexpectedly
and killed Eglon. Ehud escaped from the
king's quarters
before the king's attendants knew Eglon was dead. Ehud then roused the
Israelites to fight and defeat the Moabites,
after which the land enjoyed peace for 80 years
Lord,
please raise up good leaders in every country

Psalms
35-37: O Lord, please save me from people who slander
me,
you who rescue the weak from the strong, you whose love is so precious,
you in whose light we see light. We believe that if we find our
delight in you,
you will grant our heart's desire. And so we commit our lives to you,
confident you will help us in time of trouble.
Lord, please deepen our trust
in you,
especially in time of trouble

Acts 11.19-26: Some believers went to Antioch in Syria where they
preached the Good News
of the Lord Jesus to non-Jewish people. Many
non-Jewish people became believers. Barnabas, a good man filled with the Holy
Spirit, was sent to Antioch in Syria to encourage the new believers to remain
faithful to the Lord. Barnabas brought
Paul from Tarsus to Antioch.
They stayed in Antioch one year, instructing a large number of people. It was at Antioch that the believers were
first called "Christians"
Jesus, please help me be a good Christian
Listen
Luke
15.11-24:
Jesus told this story: a man had two sons. The younger said
to his father "Father, give me the share of the estate that would
come to me".
So the father divided his property between them.
A few days later, the younger son left for a distant land where he wasted his money in wild living.
When he had used all his money, that country had a severe famine, and he
began to feel the pinch, so he got a job on a farm feeding pigs.
He would willingly have eaten the pigs' food, but
no one offered him anything.
Then he came to his senses and said "How many of my father's paid
servants have more food than they want, and I am dying of hunger
I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have
sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be
called your son. Treat me as one of your paid servants."
So he left the place and went back to his father
While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved
with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him
tenderly. Then the son said "Father, I have sinned against heaven and
against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son".
But the father said to his servants "Quick! Bring out the best robe
and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Bring the calf we have been fattening, and kill it. We are going to
have a feast, a celebration, because this son of mine was dead and has
come back to life. He was lost and is found."
Jesus, please help me understand how much you love me,
no matter what mistakes I make

Judges
1-2: After the death of
Joshua,
the Israelites continued their campaign to occupy all parts of the land of Canaan.
But as time went
on, the Israelites began to forget the Lord their God.
As a result, things went wrong for the Israelites. To help them, the Lord
appointed judges to lead them.
For a while the people followed the judges. But as soon as a judge died,
the people again lapsed into idolatry
Dear God,
please don't let me forget you.
Please help me pray to you and love you every day
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
34:
I will bless the Lord at all
times,
his praise always on my lips.
In the Lord my soul shall make its boast,
the humble shall hear and be glad. Glorify the Lord with me, together let us
praise his name.
I sought the Lord and he answered me.
From all my terrors he set me free. The angel of the Lord is encamped around those
who revere the Lord, to rescue them. Taste and see that the Lord is good.
They are happy who seek refuge in him. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted.
Those whose spirits are crushed he will save.
Lord, by our Bible reading and
prayer, may we taste and see your goodness each day

Acts 10.1-48: Cornelius was a Roman centurion stationed in
the town of Caesarea.
He and his household prayed, loved God, and helped the local people. One morning Cornelius had a vision that Peter
would visit him.
In another town, Peter was instructed by the Lord to visit Cornelius. Peter preached God's message to Cornelius and
his household.
While Peter was speaking, the Holy Spirit came down on all the listeners.
Jewish believers who had accompanied
Peter were astonished
that the Holy Spirit would come down on non-Jewish people
Holy Spirit, please come down on all peoples
everywhere!

Luke
14.12-14: Jesus said to the meal guests "When you

Rather, when you have a party, invite the

the lame, the blind. That they cannot repay you means you are
fortunate, because repayment will be made to you when the virtuous rise again"
Jesus, help me do more to help poor
people

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

Luke
6.20-26: Jesus said to his
disciples "Blessed are
you who are poor: yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are
you who are hungry: you shall be satisfied. Blessed are
you who weep now: you shall be happy. Blessed are
you when people hate you because of me: your reward will be great in heaven. But alas for
you who are rich: your consolation is only in this world. Alas for
you who have plenty to eat: you shall go hungry. Alas for
you who laugh now: you shall mourn and weep".
Jesus, please help me to give more time and importance to the things that
really matter

Joshua
23-24: As Joshua neared the end of his life,
he urged the Israelites to stay faithful to the Lord
while living with many foreign neighbours:
"Continue to observe everything
written by Moses.
Do not mingle with the foreign peoples still among you.
Do not utter the names of their gods. Stay loyal to the Lord your God.
Love the Lord your God. If you stay faithful, the Lord will
bless you.
If you are unfaithful, everything will go wrong for you. Choose today whom you will serve:
the Lord our God, or false gods. As for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord."
Dear Lord, may Joshua's
dying words be true for me:
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
33: Ring out your joy to the Lord, all good
people,
for praise is fitting for loyal hearts. For the Lord loves justice and right;
he fills the earth with his love. By his word the heavens were made,
he spoke and the universe came into being. They are happy, whose God is the
Lord,
he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord,
since we place all our trust in you.
Lord, we trust in your precious
love

Acts
9.32-35: Peter visited churches in many areas. When he
went to Lydda,
he saw a man named Aeneas, a paralytic who had been bed-ridden for 8 years.
Peter said to him "Aeneas, Jesus Christ
cures you.
Get up and fold up your sleeping mat". Aeneas got up immediately. The people of that
area who saw him, were converted to the Lord
Jesus, let there be more miracles of healing,
so that more people will believe in you
Listen
Luke
14.7-11: At the leader's house, Jesus noticed how the guests picked the places of
honor.
He said to them "When someone invites you to a meal, do not choose a
seat of honor. Rather, when you are a guest, make your way to the lowest place
and sit there. Maybe your host will ask you to move to a seat of honor.
Everyone
who exalts himself, will be humbled. Whoever humbles himself, will be
exalted"
Jesus, please help me choose the lowest place

Joshua 22: The campaign to subdue
the whole land had taken a long time.
Joshua especially thanked the tribes from across the Jordan
for their help. These tribes - Reuben,
Gad and Manasseh - had been
given land on the Eastern side of the Jordan, but still helped in the campaign to control the Western side.
Joshua said to them:
"Despite the fact that the campaign has lasted so long,
you have loyally helped your brothers. Keep
on loving the Lord your God, following his paths.
Be loyal to him and serve him with all your heart."
Dear
Lord, please help me to be loyal - to you, to my family and to my country
My

Psalm
32: Happy is the person whose sin is forgiven.
For a while I refused to ask for forgiveness,
and my body paid the penalty. But then I said "Lord, forgive me"
and my spirit and body revived.
Lord,
when I do wrong, please give me the grace to say sorry and ask forgiveness

Acts 9.20-31:
After a few days,
Paul began preaching in the
prayer halls that Jesus is the Son of God. People were amazed at Paul's
conversion. As time
passed, the Jews planned to kill
Paul. Paul heard of this and decided to leave the city. The Jews kept watch at
the city gates to stop him leaving. Then one night he was able to escape: some
disciples lowered him in a basket from the city wall. He went to Jerusalem and began preaching
boldly in the name of the Lord.
Soon another plot was made to kill him. Therefore the disciples sent him
to Tarsus. After this the churches throughout Judea,
Galilee and Samaria were left in peace. They steadily grew, strengthened
by the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, please strengthen me, as you
strengthened Paul and the first believers
Listen
Luke
14.1-6: One Sabbath day Jesus went for a meal to the house of a religious leader. In
the house Jesus saw a man with dropsy.
Jesus asked the leaders present there "Is it against the Law to cure a man on the
Sabbath?" But they remained silent.
Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away.
Then Jesus said to the leaders "Which of you here, if his son falls into a
well, will not pull him out on a Sabbath day?"
Again the leaders
remained silent
Jesus, help me understand that "the Sabbath was made for man, not
man for the Sabbath"

Joshua 11-21:
Some kings in the
north combined to fight the Israelites.
But the Lord delivered them into the power of Israel. Eventually the whole
country had rest from war,
and the land was divided up among the 11 tribes. So it was that the Lord
gave the Israelites all the land
he had sworn to give their ancestors.
They took possession of it and settled there.
The Lord granted them peace on all their frontiers
just as he had sworn to their ancestors. Of all the promises
that the Lord had made to the House of Israel,
not one failed. All were fulfilled.
Dear Lord, please
give peace to nations troubled by war

31: Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in

My eyes are full of tears, my heart full of sorrow. Everyone makes fun of me. My friends don't want to know me.
Save me, Lord, from this mess. I praise you Lord, for you protect those who trust you.

9.1-19: Paul kept up his campaign against the Lord's

He got the ok to arrest followers of the Way in Damascus. But on his way to Damascus, a light from

He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying "Paul, Paul, why are
you persecuting me?" He said "Who are you, Lord?"
The voice replied "I am Jesus, and you are persecuting me.
Go into Damascus and you will be told what to do" Paul's eyes were open, but for more than a day
he was without his sight, and he ate and drank nothing. The Lord got
Ananias, a disciple in Damascus,
to visit Paul and pray for him. The Lord said to Ananias "Paul
is my chosen instrument to bring my name to non-Jews and Jews. He will
suffer much for me". Ananias went to
Paul and prayed for him with the laying on of hands.
Straight away, Paul could see again. Then Ananias baptized him

is leavened all through.

Joshua 10:
Five kings in the
southern part of the land made war on Gibeon.
The Gibeonites appealed to Joshua for help.
Joshua and his soldiers marched through the night
and caught the armies of the 5 kings by surprise
and defeated them.
The Israelite army also attacked other southern towns
and captured them. Joshua and his army
were victorious in the south
because the Lord supported and helped them

Luke
13.10-17: One Sabbath day Jesus was teaching in a prayer hall. There
was a woman there who for 18 years had been possessed by a spirit
which left her bent over and unable to stand up straight.
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said "Woman, you are rid of
your infirmity" and he laid his hands on her. At once she was healed
and could stand up straight, and she glorified God
Jesus, please heal the people I know who are bent over and can't stand
up straight
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: In the Gospel, the woman did not ask Jesus for help. Jesus took the initiative and called her to come. So too, sometimes Christians can/must take the initiative and invite people to take part in prayer for healing
