Devotions - 10th of the month

Go to home page

Dear Jesus, You are our help and our comfort,

 You assist us according to our need.

When suffering and illness envelop our souls,

 You cover us with healing love.

When worry and anxiety eat away at our hearts,

 You robe us with the comfort of peace.

When fear and dread fill our stumbling emotions,

 You protect us with a guard of angels.

When panic and horror take hold of our minds,

 You clothe us with the righteousness of Christ.

When misery and distress overwhelm our spirits,

 You wrap us around with Your mercy.

Dear Jesus, You are our help and our comfort,

 And You are sufficient for all needs!

We turn to You, awesome God of heaven and earth.

You are the great artist who paints myriad pictures in the sky

You are the wonderful parent who cares about everything we do

You are the best friend who travels alongside us on the journey of life

You are the amazing scientist who invents things for our use and pleasure

We turn to You, awesome God of heaven and earth, for You have turned to us.

AMEN
