Ephesians 4: 1-6

Ephesians 4:1-6

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

 ¹ As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 

² Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 

³ Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 

⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David. ¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
 ² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
 ³ he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,^[a]
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.
 ⁵ You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.

In Love, I accept everything

Let Your will be done.

Into Your hands I commend myself

Psalm 31

New International Version (NIV)

    For the director of music. A psalm of David. 

¹ In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;

   let me never be put to shame;

   deliver me in your righteousness.

² Turn your ear to me,

   come quickly to my rescue;

be my rock of refuge,

   a strong fortress to save me.

³ Since you are my rock and my fortress,

   for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

⁴ Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,

   for you are my refuge.

⁵ Into your hands I commit my spirit;

   deliver me, LORD, my faithful God.

 ⁶ I hate those who cling to worthless idols;

   as for me, I trust in the LORD.

⁷ I will be glad and rejoice in your love,

   for you saw my affliction

   and knew the anguish of my soul.

⁸ You have not given me into the hands of the enemy

   but have set my feet in a spacious place.

 ⁹ Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress;

   my eyes grow weak with sorrow,

   my soul and body with grief.

¹⁰ My life is consumed by anguish

   and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,^[b]

   and my bones grow weak.

¹¹ Because of all my enemies,

   I am the utter contempt of my neighbors

and an object of dread to my closest friends—

   those who see me on the street flee from me.

¹² I am forgotten as though I were dead;

   I have become like broken pottery.

¹³ For I hear many whispering,

   “Terror on every side!”

They conspire against me

   and plot to take my life.

 ¹⁴ But I trust in you, LORD;

   I say, “You are my God.”

¹⁵ My times are in your hands;

   deliver me from the hands of my enemies,

   from those who pursue me.

¹⁶ Let your face shine on your servant;

   save me in your unfailing love.

¹⁷ Let me not be put to shame, LORD,

   for I have cried out to you;

but let the wicked be put to shame

   and be silent in the realm of the dead.

¹⁸ Let their lying lips be silenced,

   for with pride and contempt

   they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

 ¹⁹ How abundant are the good things

   that you have stored up for those who fear you,

that you bestow in the sight of all,

   on those who take refuge in you.

²⁰ In the shelter of your presence you hide them

   from all human intrigues;

you keep them safe in your dwelling

   from accusing tongues.

 ²¹ Praise be to the LORD,

   for he showed me the wonders of his love

   when I was in a city under siege.

²² In my alarm I said,

   “I am cut off from your sight!”

Yet you heard my cry for mercy

   when I called to you for help.

 ²³ Love the LORD, all his faithful people!

   The LORD preserves those who are true to him,

   but the proud he pays back in full.

²⁴ Be strong and take heart,

   all you who hope in the LORD.

In Love, I accept everything

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Jesus in Gethsemane

 ³² They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here until I have prayed.” ³³ And He took with Him Peter and ^[a]James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled. ³⁴ And He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.” ³⁵ And He went a little beyond them, and fell to the ground and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might ^[b]pass Him by.

³⁶ And He was saying, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.” 

³⁷ And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? ³⁸ Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

³⁹ Again He went away and prayed, saying the same ^[c]words. ⁴⁰ And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him. ⁴¹ And He came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being ^[e]betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

In Love, I accept everything

Dear Lord,


Bless, Praise, Glory, Honor and thanks for the gift of prayer. Indeed Your will be done and You did more thank what I will. Planned to only have a medical check up with ate Flor, and we also end up having a very productive lunch together on health and spirituality with a bonus of shopping. Then I picked up the check easily for the Pagudpud - Laoag - Vigan Trip and the bus tickets for White Water Rafting Chico Rivers in Tabuk with out hassle. It rained hard, did not complain because You Lord provided for transfers immediately. Arrived in St. Francis 6pm, still early for the Prayer and Life Workshop, so I went shopping and bought my dream garden accessories solar lights. Got the puzzles for Sagada half the price also, and got my self a cute pink hat. LORD, that is sooooo much more than enough and I great fully thank You for Your will be done.


Regarding the spirit is willing and the body is weak, sigh, will see the orthopedics next week. And will enjoy Your will full of surprises. :D


All I ask and pray in Jesus name AMEN!!!

In Love, I accept everything

Let Your will be done.

Into Your hands I commend myself
