God abides in men, These are men who are simple, they are fields of corn…
Such men have minds like wide grey skies, they have the grandeur that the fools call emptiness.
God abides in men.
Some men are not simple, they live in cities among the teeming buildings, wrestling with forces as strong as the sun and the rain.
Often they must forgo dream upon dream…
Christ walks in the wilderness in such lives.
God abides in men, because Christ has put on the nature of man, like a garment, and worn it to his own shape.
He has put on everyone’s life…to the workman’s clothes to the King’s red robes, to the snowy loveliness of the wedding garment…
Christ has put on Man’s nature, and given him back his humanness…
God abides in man.
God abides in You.

Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
For Strength of Faith
Heavenly Father, every life has its trials, and I have my share. Help me to see the challenges of life as opportunities to test my sincere and single-minded faith and to grow, and endure, and persist despite obstacles in my path. For people who have it easy in life develop no strength. As you have told us, the flower of wealth and fame is short-lived, for the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers it, and its petals fall, and its beauty is gone.
Give me confidence and strength in my faith, Lord, for the reward you give to your faithful is true joy and will never fade, but will remain when all flesh has been corrupted and all the things of earth have faded. Let me hold strong and steadfast through every trial and every temptation. All praise and glory to you, mighty God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Make your home with me today and every day of my life; be with me in all I do.
Amen.
