Morning Prayer for the day - 27/2/07 - by William Barclay

O Lord, my God, give me strength and wisdom to live this day as i ought.
Give me Strength to conquer every temptation which will come to me;
Strength to do every task which is assigned to me;
Strength to shoulder every responsibility which is laid upon me.
Give me
Wisdom to know when to speak, and when to keep silent;
Wisdom to know when to act, and when to refrain from action;
Wisdom to know when to speak my mind, and when to hold my peace.
So bring me to the end of this day in goodness, in happiness and contentment;
Through Jesus Christ my Lord,
Amen

A prayer by Miss C.A. Wellesley

Prince of life and Glory,
Shine before our eyes,
And let Calvary's story
Sound through earth and skies;
Lamb of God receive us
To yon peaceful shore;
Come again, Lord Jesus,
Reign for evermore.

Lent Prayer for the day - 26/2/07 - by Emmanuel E.James

Lord Jesus, I come before you humbly seeking your help and guidance during this day.
Help me to understand the meaning and significance of fasting and prayer for my own spiritual growth and development.
Cleanse my mind, thoughts, motives and attitudes.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Apostles" Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell: The third day he rose again from the dead:He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the Holy Ghost: I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints: The forgiveness of sins: The resurrection of the body: And the life everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
