(Mt 6:7-15) How to Pray
Jesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “This is how you are to pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our...

Psalm 51: "A heart contrite and humbled, O God,...
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense. Thoroughly wash me from my guilt and of my sin cleanse me. R.

Cast me not out from your presence, and your Holy Spirit take not from me. R. A heart contrite...
God at Eventide: February 28 - The Simple Life
The Gift of Eternal Life is a most precious one. Each one who receives it must demonstrate by Joy and Trust and radiancy of Spirit, expressed in being and in bearing, the quality of the Life he possesses.
The other life is existence — just not death.
Power and Joy must radiate from you. These are the expressions of Eternal Life. Life Eternal is to know the Father and Me, His Son, Whom...

For the Least of These (Mt 25:31-46)
Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer...

God at Eventide: February 26 - As From Me
Take every little kindness, every faithful service, every evidence of thought and of Love — as from Me.
As you, and those who live with and for Me, show loving-kindness to others, because you are actuated by My Spirit, so you draw contacts into the circle of my ever-widening Spirit influence.
This is unfailingly so. It is a spiritual law. Though no word of Me may be spoken, yet in this...
God at Eventide: February 25 - The War Within
And he was dumb, because he believed not.
There is physical correspondence to faith and to doubt.
Especially is this so among those who would serve Me. For unlike others, they are not so controlled by the law of physical success or failure, but are under the direct control of the Laws of My Kingdom.
So, in many cases, you may note good health in one ignorant of Me, and ill-health in one of...

A heart contrite and...

Isaiah 58:6-9 True Fasting (Darkness to Light)
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 8 Then your light will break...

God at Eventide: February 24 - Always Antagonism
And He passing through the midst of them.
Face evil undaunted, and it will fall back, and let you pass on and do your work for Me.
The maddened crowd had sought to cast Me headlong, but they made way for Me, and through their midst I passed unhindered.
Do not be surprised to find antagonism where you meet evil, because you are a home of My Spirit, and it is My Spirit that arouses the...
