The Seventh Sunday of Eastertide
PSALM 90:10 (CEB)
We live at best to be seventy years old,
maybe eighty, if we’re strong.
But their duration brings hard work and trouble
because they go by so quickly.
And then we fly off.
2 THESSALONIANS 2:16-17 (MSG)
May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Life is short but God enlivens us with an eternal outlook.
PRAYER
God of our days, I am grateful for your eternal comfort through our Lord Jesus Christ. Over time, my endurance wanes and I have fewer reserves of strength. I depend on you alone to carry me. My meaning in life rests in you. Let my words and actions strengthen others in every good work and deed. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
