Sunday, April 22  (Earth Day)

God has trusted Earth’s care to us. Pray for those whose life-work is the preservation of the environment. Ask God to direct you on how to become active in an organization whose primary work is preservation of Earth and conservation of its resources. Encourage others to support such organizations.

Jesus, Our Example on the Throne

Hebrews 12:1-6 NRSV

(L)et us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1c-2)

Lord, please help me to live my life following Christ’s example, and not get weary in the race. AMEN
