Devotions - 6th of the month

Great Creator and majestic Lord, show us your power by restoring Your Church again.  You alone can do this glorious work, and You alone can encourage us to lift our hearts and hope for greater things.  Use us according to Your will, we pray, and may we be responsive to Your call and gracious leading; we ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.  AMEN

Prayer ideas

Look up on the internet a Christian retreat centre near to where you live.  Pray for their work and the needs of those who go there

On-going prayers

• Pray for the people you meet   Pray for those who you pass by in the course of today, going to work, or in the streets
• Give thanks to God for the forgiveness of others
• Pray for those who work in the sweatshops of Asia making the goods we buy

What do other religions try to tell us about God,

Which cannot be found in Christ Jesus our Lord –

 When we place our whole confidence in Him?

What can we do about the world’s evil and pain,

Or its stranglehold on everything and everyone –

 Except call on God who alone has authority?

In what can we place our trust for eternal salvation,

Apart from the death and resurrection of Jesus –

 Which has set us free from the burden of sin?

How can we live our lives free from guilt and shame,

And be effective servants of God in truth and in love –

 Unless we allow the Holy Spirit to work within us?

Brothers and sisters,

Let us all know clearly where we stand, each day,

As disciples of Christ and members of His Church –

 For he depends upon our witness in this world.
