EVENING PRAYER for the day - 2/06/2007 - by William Barclay

O God, our Father,

as we kook back across this day, we ask You to

Forgive us if today we have made things harder for others.

Forgive us if we have made work harder for others, by being careless,

thought less, selfish and inconsiderate.

Forgive us if we have made faith harder for others,

by laughing at things they old precious, or casting doubts on thing they hold dear.

Forgive us if we have made goodness harder for others,

by setting then an example which would make it easier for them to go wrong.

Forgive us if we have made joy harder for others,

by bringing gloom and depression through our grumbling discontent specially at home.

Forgive us, O God for all the ugliness of our lives;

and tomorrow help us to walk more nearly as our Master Jesus walked,

that something of his grace and beauty may be on us.

This we ask for Your love’s sake.

Amen.

MORNING PRAYER for the day - 2/06/2007 - by William Barclay

O God,

all through today make me quicker to praise than to criticize.

Help me never to forget to thank people for anything that they do for me.

Make me always ready to speak a word of praise and of appreciation.

Grant that I may take no service for granted,

and that I may allow no help to pass unnoticed.

Make me quick to notice when people are upset or depressed,

and give me the ability to speak the word which will help and cheer them.

All through today help me to think far less of myself and far more of others,

and so to find my own happiness in making others happy.

This I ask for Jesus’ sake.

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.
