LONGING FOR GOD

LONGING FOR GOD
 



As a dear longs for a stream of cool water,
So I long for you, O God.
I thirst for you, the living God.
When can I go and worship in your presence?
Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food.
My heart breaks when I remember the past,
when I went with the crowds to the house of God,
Why am I so sad?
Why am I so troubled?
I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him,
My saviour and my God.

                                                                Psalm 42https://soundcloud.com/gloria-helg/like-the-dear-1

Father, fill me with your Holy Spirit and set my heart ablaze with your love.




                                                   Morning Prayer (Psalm 121)
                                          I lift up my eyes towards the mountains
Whence shall my help come?
My help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer my (your) foot to slip;
He slumbers not, He who guides me (you)
The guardian of Israel;
The Lord is my (your) guardian,
The Lord is my (your) shade.
The sun shall not harm me (you) by day.
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will guard me (you) from all evil.
He will guard my (your) life.
The Lord will guard my (your) coming and going.
Both now and for evermore.

                                                                                                                                      AMEN 
                                                                                             Dear Angel Ever at my Side


 Prayer 
Lord help me become more confident in your goodness and content to let things unfold according to your will. Give me the courage to persist in my prayer, even as you give me the peace of knowing that you will work things out for my good.

                                                                                                         Abide in my word
                                                        psalm 143

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
