Devotions for Thursday 22nd July

Go to home page

Give us peace, Lord God we pray, and save us from the distress and trouble of selfish living.  Give us peace within our hearts to praise You, peace within our lives to serve You, and peace within our souls to live for You; and may we live an active life in faithful service of others and of Your Kingdom, we pray.  Thank You Lord God, AMEN

Prayer ideas

Listen to the news and pray especially the news items that do not feature but represent real concerns to you

On-going prayers

Your work Lord God,

is to bring together what had been undone;

to mend lives that have been broken;

to restore order to what has been shattered;

to heal those who have been suffering;

to bring wholeness to what has been damaged;

to bind up whatever has been torn apart;

to release those who have been bound;

to restore what has been lost or mislaid;

and to complete what has been left undone.

You have been doing all this since the beginning of history,

And You will continue to do it until the world is completed,

And all things find their fulfilment and purpose in You!
