Devotions for Saturday 10th July

Go to home page

Praise be to You, Lord God, for when we need Your love, You are there; when we Your forgiveness, You are there; when we call upon Your name, You are there; and when we cry to You for help, You are there.  We praise You and thank You for the great mercy and love You show to us, and we commit ourselves to live according to Your will and pleasure, forever.  AMEN

What is the truth behind Your love, O Lord?

A love which made the world and chose a people,

Led a broken nation through the desert;

Spoke through the lives of kings and prophets,

And wept and bled when all seemed lost through sin.

But then it triumphed in a plan of unsurpassed beauty,

Sending Christ, Your Son, into our world to save the lost;

A man who took the world’s rejection on the Cross,

That good might conquer death and claim love’s victory,

And prove to all the world the timeless moral truth

That its best and only hope is in its Saviour!

It is a love that only finds a home in you and me,

Because our past and present make us ever lost

Unless we place our future’s hope in Him

Who longs, in love, to be at home in us.

Prayer ideas

Pray for you own country.  Pray for its leaders and its politicians at every level of government, and pray for peace.

On-going prayers
