Devotions - 7th of the month

Go to home page

Praise You, Lord God, for the beauty of life which surprises us day by day.  You have created a world which never ceases to give us more and more; never fails to fill us with awe and wonder; and never hides its vibrant and exuberant energy.  Lead us to love Your Creation, Almighty God, and treat it with the utmost respect. AMEN

Our Lord is our Great Provider, the Governor of life.

He provides us every day with all we need to do His will;

If we lack anything,

It is because we do not need it to do His will;

If we have too much,

It is because we have much more to do for Him.

The Lord our God gives us

Love, strength, passion, and enthusiasm to do His will;

He gives us His gifts

To help us do great and greater things for the Kingdom;

Yet when these fade,

His Sabbath Day reminds us of our need to rest, to live.

Brother, sister, friends; do not fret.

The Lord will lead the way and govern life according to His plan;

And what He has equipped us each to do.

Prayer ideas

Confess your sins to God and if you are not sure what your sins are, then read Exodus 20 or Leviticus 19 before praying
