Soul Care New Every Morning at The Global Church of the Nazarene's Office of Clergy Development of Lenexa, Kansas, United States for Wednesday, 11 November 2015 "
[On the contrary,] they are new every morning!
How great your faithfulness!
" Lamentarions 3:23
Good Morning, Ministry Partner:
Be Encouraged by God's Word:
She came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." He answered, "It is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed instantly.[Matthew 15:25-28, NRSV]
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.[Brennan Manning]
Pray Together with Us:
Now it is you alone that I love,
you alone that I follow,
you alone that I seek,
you alone that I feel ready to serve,
because you alone rule justly.
It is to your authority alone that I want to submit.
Command me, I pray, to do whatever you will,
but heal and open my ears
that I may hear your voice.
Heal and open my eyes
that I may see your will.
Drive out from me
all fickleness,
that I may acknowledge you alone.
Tell me where to look
that I may see you,
and I will place my hope in doing your will. Amen.[Augustine]
