1st Prayer: January 24,2011


Do not dispatch me, merciful Lord, before my time.

Do not let me depart this life empty-handed, before my journey is accomplished.

Do not offer me the cup of bitterness in my time of thirst.

Do not block me, compassionate Lord, from the

path of doing good,

and do not permit the nightfall of death to overtake me

like a band of thieves in a sudden ambush.

May the feverish heat of the sun at an

unexpected moment

not cut off and dry up my roots forever.

And may the lunacy of the moon, arriving in secret,

not cause harm.

May rest not bring death

and slumber not lead to slaughter.

May sleep not destroy me

and may drowsiness not corrupt me.

May my death not strike me at an

inappropriate moment.

And may the release of my spirit upward not

be cast down.

4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

Hebrews 2:14-18.
 
Hebrews 2:14-18 (King James Version)




14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;



15And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.



16For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.



17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

48And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
