1 Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:14-25
1 Verse: Verse 25. so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for composing Your body -- the church -- in the exact arrangement You desire. It is comforting to know that even when we don't seem to fit in, we are placed right where You want us. The weak and the strong, the honored and the overlooked, the respectable and the unconventional -- somehow in Your perfect wisdom You find a place for us all. And not just any old place, but a place where we belong, a place where we are necessary. All so that there would be no division, so that we would recognize that we need one another -- as different as we all are -- and care the same for each one. Father, help us to live and work and breathe and sing and pray and rejoice and weep together as one. Help us to show the same care for one another that You show for us all.

1 Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:14-25
1 Verse: Verse 18, "But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired."
1 Prayer: Father, You are Soveriegn and in charge of Your church and every member in Your church. You place each person in the church just as You desire with specific gifts to use in ministering to one another and to build up Your church. You also can re-position members in Your church as You desire. Please forgive me for getting so discouraged when You relocate people. Help me to remember that You always have the best interest of the church in mind as well as the best interest of each person in the church in mind. Father, thank you for placing me in East Whittier Friends Church where I can serve You with the spiritual gifts that You have given me for Your glory.
