Here we are at the end of August. Tomorrow, by the grace of God we will be in a new month. Here is a prayer from an old book I have entitled: Prayers: Ancient and Modern. The book's copyright is from 1897. The prayer for today is as follows:
"O Lord, forasmuch as all my strength is in Thee, grant unto me this grace, that I may allow Thee to do whatsoever Thou wilt; and that my doing may be to lie still in Thy hand, and that Thou mayest do with me that thing only which is most pleasing to Thee.
Do Thou adorn me with holy virtues, giving me humbleness of mind, purity of heart, and all those gifts and graces which Thou knowest to be needful for me, and whatsoever Thou wouldest have to be in me, whether in body or soul; that so I may be able the better to please Thee, the more worthily and faithfully to serve Thee, and the more perfectly to love Thee.
I pray, moreover, that Thou wouldest give me grace to arrive at that degree of perfection which thou willest me to reach, and grant unto me the aids and dispositions needful for its attainment. Amen." - Ludovicus Palma
Tonight we will gather to pray and to study God's Word. I want to encourage our Church family to keep M.M. in your prayers today as she is scheduled for surgery this morning. I'll have an update for you at prayer meeting tonight. In tonight's study, we will learn how to be an example of the believer in our manner of life.
Praying for you and with you,
Pastor Mike
