Here is today's prayer:

I need to be forgiven, Lord, so many times a day.
So often do I stumble and fall. Be merciful, I pray.
Help me not to be critical when others' faults I see.
For so often, Lord, the same faults are in me. Amen.

Here is today's quote:

"It is no marvel that the devil does not love field preaching! Neither do I; I love a commodious room, a soft cushion, a handsome pulpit. But where is my zeal if I do not trample all these underfoot in order to save one more soul?"

John Wesley

Here is today's prayer:

Dear Lord, today I pray:
The way is long
Let us go together.
The way is difficult
Let us help each other.
The way is joyful
Let us share it.
The way is ours alone
Let us go in love.
The way grows before us
Let us begin. Amen.

Here is today's quote:

"I am well assured that I did far more good to my Lincolnshire parishioners by preaching three days on my fathers tomb than I did by preaching three years in his pulpit."
