Prayer of the Day:  Almighty God, you see that we have no power to defend ourselves. Guard and keep us both outwardly and inwardly from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Verse of the Day:  Jesus humbled himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:8b cf. NIV)
