Devotions for Monday 26th July

Go to home page

We talk to You each day, Lord Jesus, because You are there.  Even when it feels as if You are distant, the reality is that You are as close as the clothes we wear and the ground under our feet.  Talk to us as we talk to You, we pray, and may our inner ears hear the voice of the Spirit as clearly as we feel our emotions and know our thoughts.  May our conversations be of real value, the treasures that sustain us through each day; thank You, Lord Jesus.  AMEN

Bring us joy, Lord Jesus Christ,

The unbridled freedom of authentic delight.

Bring us faithfulness, Lord Jesus Christ,

he undeserved grace of dependable love.

Bring us mercy, Lord Jesus Christ,

The unrestrained kindness of a generous heart;

Bring us patience, Lord Jesus Christ,

he unquestionable resilience of persistent hope;

Bring us peace, Lord Jesus Christ,

The unspoilt tranquillity of the undisturbed breast;

Bring us grace, Lord Jesus Christ,

The unearned reward of the Father’s approval.

Prayer ideas

Set a clock to give you a reminder to pray several times in the course of a day.  Three times a day would not be much, but more than many offer!
