Devotions - 19th of the month

Go to home page

Lord Jesus, open our hearts and our minds to the generosity of Your love and the rightness of Your justice, so that we might respond in a godly way to the difficulties of everyday life.  Guide us by Your Holy Spirit as we make everyday judgements about what is right and wrong, and make us agents of hope in a troubled world.  May Your Kingdom come, Lord Jesus:  AMEN

In the Kingdom of God there will be peace.

Peace to think;

 to dwell on what is good and right and true

 and not be oppressed by temptation.

Peace to love;

 to offer ourselves in unrestrained affection

 and not fear rejection from anyone.

Peace to see;

 to open our eyes to the beauty all around us

 and not be influenced by fashion and publicity.

Peace to listen;

 to hear what is said and enjoy music’s breadth

 and not be subjected to the noise of the world.

In the Kingdom of God there will be peace, and so much more
