The good news of Christ
For the children who have no parents, we pray that we might fulfill their needs.
For children from broken homes, traumatized by divorce, give them assurance that they are innocent and not responsible for their parents’ mistakes. Continue reading “A prayer for all the children, and for our true religion”
Like the saints who shook the world of old, give us courage, O God, to face the lies of Satan and speak the truth of Christ, for only the gospel can save.
Free us from our worries that we might know the power of Scripture. Continue reading “A prayer for the eternal plan: Make sluggish feet nimble to move forward”
O LORD God, our dear Father in heaven, we give thanks on this new day for the very gift of life that ignites our otherwise lifeless mortal bodies. Continue reading “A prayer of gratitude and for wisdom: For the very gift of life”
Let not our age pass by in vain,
Our days without your hand;
Make justice strong, let evil wane
Like time’s few grains of sand. Continue reading “Read this and say amen: Let not our age pass by in vain”
The wicked world grows daily worse,
And adds its sins to sin,
The evildoer ignores your curse,
To feed his flesh and skin. Continue reading “Come save your flock”
We are not alone, O God, for you are with us wherever we go.
We are not helpless, for your Spirit gives us power. Continue reading “We are not”
Father of us all, we hope in your promise of the resurrection, with the Lord Jesus as our guarantee. Raise us up in power!
Lord, we plunge our hands in your Spirit, to be empowered for the work to which we are called. Act mightily in us!
True and living God, we have no other God but you, no other love, no other pledge. Show us your glory!
Wherever I go, you are there, God omnipresent. Jonah thought he could flee from you, but we are glad that no one can go beyond your reach. For us as Christians, this is our joy and peace, as we penetrate the world with the gospel and count on the presence of Christ. Continue reading “Never beyond your reach”
Heavenly Father, you are patient, that we might repent and find salvation. Let us not tire in our service to you. Let us be glad to show mercy. Let our truth be laced with love. Let us be always willing to bear with others.
The Lord Jesus did not waver in his purpose. Give us the same steady sight in doing your will. Continue reading “Glad to show mercy”
Eternal God over and beyond time, we have left another month in the year, if you do not send the Lord Jesus before then, and if you choose to give us life until then. May we snap up the opportunities you give us in these last days. Continue reading “We have left another month in the year”
