Reading: Luke 22:31-34 NLT

The Farmer Winnowing Wheat, Wind separates the chaffs from the seeds.
The Farmer Winnowing Wheat,
Wind separates the chaff from the seed.

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”

Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you.”

But Jesus said, “Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

Prayer: Lord Jesus – Sift me… my heart, my mind, my spirit. Keep what pleases you… and remove all else. And strengthen me… to keep me faithful to the end. For your name’s sake. Amen.

Hymn: “O Jesus, I have Promised” – John E. Bode (1869)
