Always rejoice,
constantly pray.
Give thanks
in all situations
– for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus
for you all.

Do not extinguish the Spirit,
do not despise prophecies.
But test all things,
Hold fast to the good.
Abstain from every kind of evil

Then
may the God of peace himself
sanctify you completely,
and may
your whole spirit, soul and body
be kept blamelessly
in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The one who calls you is faithful,
and he will do it.

Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.

George Herbert
