Devotions for Wednesday 14th July

Go to home page

The glory of Your world, Lord God, is beyond our comprehension.  For within it we find love that changes darkness to light, we find joy which triumphs over disaster, and we find hope in the midst of trial and distress.  Surely You are there within Your creation; there for all to see Your glory.  Praise to You, Lord Jesus, the Saviour of the World.    AMEN

Prayer ideas

Pray in absolute silence.  Do not try to fill the silence with your words, but listen to what the Lord says.

On-going prayers

I glory in everything You do for me, Lord Jesus.

    You give me courage to endure life’s struggles,

  To refuse to be conquered by trouble.

    You give me a heart to watch out for the needy,

  Despite all my selfish inclinations.

    You give me strength to stand firm in faith ,

  And apply what I believe to what I do.

    You give me love when my heart is sorely tested;

  The ability to forgive when offended:

    You give me the power to rise above the ordinary;

  To do the best for You and for Your glory!

    You give me a vision of real hope for the future

  So I may know my place within Your Kingdom!

I glory in everything You do in me, Lord Jesus.
