DAILY INTERCESSION

“He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.” (Isa., Jxi: 1-3).

All through the night, whatever storms assail us, Passion or train, despair and shame and loss, Thou, till the day, wilt hold and never fail us, Victor before us of the bitter Cross.

Gracious Father, we I hank Thee for this new day with its fresh opportunity of putting Thy love to the test and finding it true. Be Thou in our home, our hearts, our business, our leisure, and our nation. Teac.'. us that Thy will is not grievous. Nothing can be right save Thy will. Because we have disobeyed Thee our generation is in misery. Bleeding and frightened the world is a prodigal son surfeited with sin. May it com* willingly to accept Christ's way and be healed. Comfort, guide, and strengthen all mothers and fathers, refugees, sick and homeless children. Steady, inspire, and keep untarnished the soul of every soldier. airman, sailor and all who serve to heal. Hasten the day when true peace beyond all our expectations may he won. through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
