Suggested Bible Study and Prayers
(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
1 Samuel 25
Lord God, we live in a world of death and folly. You are the source of all life and wisdom. You have provided everything necessary for us, and have protected us from many dangers. Would we then forget Your kindness to us, and decide that we have no obligation to You? You have provided the way of redemption from eternal destruction through the blood of Your Son. Will we have no gratitude? Will we return to You evil for good? Send forth messengers of wisdom. Give us repentance, so that we will not bring further guilt upon ourselves in our foolishness. Help us to see the only hope for us in the way of faith, lest we die in hopelessness and unbelief. Grant to us the security of the Perfect Husband, for we are Your servants, and You are the Lord.
Psalm 22
Merciful God, Your Son was cut off for our transgressions. We trust in You. We will not be put to shame. Your Son suffered greatly from the hatred of men. They railed against Him without cause. They nailed Him to a cross. He faced death for our salvation. Yet He trusted in You to the end. You rescued Him. Now He has won for You the praise of the church. We cry out to Him for powerful help. We are not only saved; we are also satisfied. People from many nations shall serve You, even those who are long gone from the earth. All generations shall proclaim Your righteousness, even people not yet born. You have done everything for our salvation, and we will praise You forever.
Acts 3
Our Father, we are so very grateful for Your mercy to the weak. Lord, You provide for our every need. You grant us food, shelter, health, friendship, and families; and these are just the beginning of the blessings that You have for us. Though we have denied Your Son, You have given us faith in His Name. Through Him we have a taste of the life to come. Bring us times of refreshing day by day so that we will remember Your promises and be strengthened for Your service. We have heard Your Word. You will bring about the fulfillment of all that You have promised to Your people of old. Turn us from our wickedness and grant us great joy in the contemplation of Your eternal love.
