Devotions for Monday 12th July

Go to home page

Lord God, give us courage to act according to what we believe;

Let us be loving because our Saviour has first loved us,

Let us be considerate because God has kept us in mind,

Let us be calm because Jesus has taught the way of peace,

Let us be careful because God’s Word tells us to be wise,

Let us be brave because we trust in the Lord’s protection,

Let us be victorious because Christ has defeated all evil,

Let us be honest because Jesus respects all people.

Let us be forthright because we believe the Gospel of Truth,

Lord God, may we be inspired by Him to whom we owe everything,

Our Saviour and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Prayer ideas

On-going prayers

Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for all the love, goodness and faithfulness we have received from You.  You have granted us many wonderful blessings; help us therefore to accept difficulties and trouble, and bear them in the knowledge that You are in control of all things and always leading us towards our eternal salvation.  Thank You heavenly Father;  AMEN
