Psalm 61 | Background
Save me, Lord, from all the ways I can be destroyed;

Please hear my prayers and forgive my sins;

I could find no pity or care;

I am in pain;

I will praise the Lord to the highest heaven;

The Lord listens to ill and those in prison.

Acts 17 |

Paul and Silas continued their journey; they proclaimed Jesus as Messiah; a mob of Jewish believers beat some people who were hospitable to them; they went to another town; the mob followed; many came to faith.

Mark 7 |

Jesus went to Tyre; a gentile woman asked for her daughter to be healed and convenience Jesus and she was healed; Jesus also healed a deaf man; no matter how much Jesus told them not to say anything about the miracle - they proclaimed the righteousness and goodness of Jesus.

A Collect for Fridays

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.

Collect for the Day

O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.
