Words for the Weary
Tuesdays in the Old Testament
1 Kings 2:10-12
Then David rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David. The length of time David reigned over Israel was forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingship was firmly established.
Prayer for the 13th Sunday after Trinity
Almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service; Grant, we beseech thee, that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
