Romans 1:5-7 tells us that we are called upon to be a witness for Christ among all the nations. For me, the scary part is that, when you declare your faith, you ARE a witness – either good or bad! If your co-workers know that you are a “church-goer” and/or a Christian, and they know that you are cheating on your travel claims – you are a witness! Our bad example may discourage someone from coming to church or accepting Christ. We need to be steadfast in pray, asking God to help us to shine HIS light down every path that we tread.
Suggestion for Daily Use
Follow the ‘Daily Prayer’ at the side+++Suivez le ‘Prière Quotidienne’.
Read the bible passages and then the meditation.
Pray, tell God how you felt about the reading and share the concerns of your life with him.
Maybe you will continue the habit after Lent.
Lisez les passages bible et après la méditation.
Priez, dites à Dieu que vous avez ressenti à propos de la lecture et de partager les préoccupations de votre vie avec lui.
Peut-être que vous allez continuer l'habitude après le Carême.
Daily Prayer
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. Luke 4.1-2
Now is the healing time decreed
For sins of heart, of word or deed,
When we in humble fear record
The wrong that we have done the Lord. (Latin, before 12th century)
Read: Read the Bible passage. Read the meditation
Pray: Talk to God about what you have just read. Tell him your concerns - for yourself, your family, our church family, our world. Praise him.
Pray the collect for the week – see next pages.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
Prière Quotidienne
Jésus, rempli de l'Esprit Saint, revint du Jourdain et le Saint-Esprit le conduisit dans le désert où il fut tenté par le diable durant quarante jours. Luc 4.1-2
Maintenant le temps de la guérison est décrété
Pour les péchés du cœur, de la parole et des actes,
Lorsque nous nous souvenons avec humilité
Le mal que nous avons fait au Seigneur.
Lire : Lisez le passage de la Bible. Lisez la méditation.
Prier : Parlez avec le Seigneur de ce que vous avez lu. Parlez-lui de vos préoccupations pour vous-même, votre famille, notre famille de l’église, notre monde. Louez-le.

Mon âme, bénis le Seigneur ! Que tout qui est en moi bénisse son saint nom.
Mon âme, bénis le Seigneur, et n’oublie aucun de ses bienfaits !
