today

²⁴For this reason, I say to you, all things whatsoever that you ask for when praying: believe that you will receive them, and they will happen for you.

²⁴This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us exult and rejoice in it.

³⁴Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for the future day will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.”

¹⁷The Lord your God is the strength in your midst; he will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness. In his love, he will be silent. He will exult over you with praise.

¹³But who are you to judge your neighbor? Consider this, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into that city, and certainly we will spend a year there, and we will do business, and we will make our profit,” ¹⁴consider that you do not know what will be tomorrow. ¹⁵For what is your life? It is a mist that appears for a brief time, and afterwards will vanish away. So what you ought to say is: “If the Lord wills,” or, “If we live,” we will do this or that.

⁷Because of this, it is just as the Holy Spirit says: “If today you hear his voice,

⁸Jesus Christ, yesterday and today; Jesus Christ forever.

⁹Therefore, you shall pray in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven: May your name be kept holy. ¹⁰May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth. ¹¹Give us this day our life-sustaining bread. ¹²And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. ¹³And lead us not into temptation. But free us from evil. Amen.

¹²For God loves mercy and truth. The Lord will give grace and glory.

⁸Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.

¹³Instead, exhort one another every day, while it is still called ‘today,’ so that none of you may become hardened through the falseness of sin.

²⁷Peace I leave for you; my Peace I give to you. Not in the way that the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, and let it not fear.
