Devotions - 14th of the month

Go to home page

Lord God, Your gifts to us are beyond compare, for how can we measure the immense value of all You have done for us in sending Jesus to be our Saviour?  We thank You and we praise You for the great gift of salvation found in Jesus Christ, and we offer our lives to You so that Your will may be done on earth.  May we continue to be worthy of the name ‘Christian’, and may we always be ready to declare His name.  We praise You, Lord God  ALLELUIA!

Give thanks for days of happiness;

 when the Lord gives us blessings despite all our problems:

Give thanks for the joy of love;

 when those who are close give us happiness by what they do:

Give thanks for the peace of security;

 when our bodies, souls and spirits have rest, and fear nothing:

Give thanks for moments of satisfaction;

 when the work we have done is successful and bears fruit:

Give thanks for the stability of true faith;

 when by trusting the Lord we stand firm, whilst all else fails:

Give thanks for the salvation we have in Christ;

 for without this we have nothing; but in Him we have all!

Prayer ideas
