Devotions - 17th of the month

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for the gift of this day, which brings with it the fresh promise of all that is possible as Your Holy Spirit works in and through us.  Even if we never know the full picture of what You can do through us, Lord God, may we accomplish with vigour everything You have given us to do.  May we be fulfilled, and may Your eternal plans be completed.  Thank You, Heavenly Father,  AMEN

Prayer ideas

Look at your surroundings.  What does this say about you and your faith? Give this to God and pray about it.

On-going prayers

• Pray for people on low pay. Pray for people in your own locality who are not able to earn enough to live on; what does this say about your society?
• Give thanks to God for the way He has guided you through your life
• Pray for the UK as it experiences the newness of coalition  government!

Sometimes, when we are tired of the life we have been given,

Our strength appears sapped from our inner spiritual reserves;

We lose hold of the things of God that normally, we hold dear. 

The promises You gave have held, but we question them,

We try to deal with things without handing them over to You,

Not realising that in faithfulness, You have to ever let us go.

 Hold us firmly, do not let us fall, and show us why we fail.

 Remove our guilt, calm our nerves when touched by fear;

 Speak swiftly when we need the comfort of Your authority.

For real discipleship works, when in distress we trust our all to You.
