Dear Lord, The devil is so eager to

wickedness, violence, sickness, and despair spoil the good world you have

goodness of Jesus Christ who taught us to pray…

Ecclesiastes 11:9 – 12:8
Rejoice, O
young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth,
and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know
thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Therefore
remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood
and youth are vanity.
Remember now
thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the
years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
While the sun,
or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return
after the rain:
In the day
when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow
themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look
out of the windows be darkened,
And the doors
shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he
shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be
brought low;
Also when they
shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the
almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and the
desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go
about the streets:
Or ever the
silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken
at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Then shall the
dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who
gave it.
Vanity of
vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity
