Devotions - 9th of the month

Lord God Almighty, we offer ourselves to You today because You alone can make sense of what lies before us.  We can never fully understand the many things that are happening around us, and we can never fully appreciate the implications of all we say and do.  You, however, are capable of knitting everything together in the integrated patchwork of Your perfect plan.  Guide us, we pray, and may we trust You, because You know best.  AMEN

Come, my Saviour, Jesus Christ,

For after all my wandering and searching

I need the grace of love’s redeeming liberty.

If I am lost, then find me;

If I am stubborn, then move me;

If I am resistant, then melt me.

If I am weary, then give me rest;

If I am troubled, then soothe me;

If I am sick, then heal me.

If I am ready, then take me;

If I am willing, then lead me;

If I am able, then empower me.

Come, my Saviour, Jesus Christ,

For if I live by faith and seek the heart of God

I will truly find my bonds released, and be set free.
