 Pray

Psalm 55
Hear my prayer and listen to me God and I am anxious, fearful, and I want to fly away; Get those who persecute me; it is corrupt everywhere, but my BFFs desert me; God will redeem me and listen to me.

Acts 15
The Church leaders send a delegation to tell them of their decision that they will not impose Jewish tradition on Gentiles; in Antioch, there was much joy among the believers; Paul and Barnabas remain there to teach them.

John 11
Many of the Jews believed in Jesus and were amazed at the resurrection of Lazarus; the church leaders plotted to kill Jesus; Jesus left to hide.

Collect of the Day: Proper 18

Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

For our Country   Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage:  We humbly beseech you that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of your favor and glad to do your will.  Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.  Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way.  Defend our liberties, and fashion us into one united people.  Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in your Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to your law, we may show forth your praise among the nations of the earth.  In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in you to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
