Devotions - 8th of the month

Go to home page

Thank You, dear Jesus, for bringing us through our times of trial to defeat the Evil One.  Fill us now with Your power and love, so that the enemy cannot gain a foothold within our lives and distract us from Your pathway.  We celebrate the triumph of good over evil not just because You have already done it Yourself, dear Jesus, but because You continue to do it through Your people every day.  We praise You for our liberty; Alleluia!

You stand by us, O Lord, in the midst of our daily needs:

Your love sustains us,

Your peace heals us,

Your mercy covers us,

Your power enables us,

Your justice protects us,

Your mission challenges us,

Your vision guides us,

Your future invites us,

And Your promise never fails us

May we take our stand in Your presence, now and always.
