Gratitude

You fed us with your precious Word. We also had the privilege to sit at the Table of the Lord. We had communion with You and one another, and we celebrated your death and resurrection.

Confession and joy

I admit and acknowledge that I am sinful, and that I have sinned before You. My sins are an abomination in your sight, and it screams against your holiness. I ask for forgiveness. I am ashamed of the fact that although You have saved me, I am still only a child in faith…

Intercession and Confession (Daniel)

We have so very much to repent of. But for most churches it is business as usual. They would not dare to bring up the topics of sin, repentance, confession and holiness…

Spiritual growth

I know there are so many things in my life where You would need to make changes to live.  I pray Lord, continue your sanctifying work in my life. Also, work in the life of the congregation You gave to me to minister to.  We know so little of the purifying work of the Spirit….

Teaching me obedience

I thank You for your grace in many generations who preceded me who loved your Word. I also thank You for the faith my parents taught me, so I could teach my children too. You are the God of your Covenant….

Confession (Zechariah)

We pray that today You pour upon the Church of your Son, a spirit of grace and supplication. Make us look upon You and release that we have pierced your Son, and hear our cry for forgiveness. Your Word says we should mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child. We should grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn…

Dedication

Teach us to serve You sacrificially and generously. Help us trust You for the promise that You will supply our every need according to your riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Praise

Cause our knees to buckle with wonder. Make our feet dance with delight. Let our hearts beat with joy. Help us understand that your free gift of eternal life supersedes everything we may desire while on this earth…

It starts with prayer

“You can do more than pray, after you have prayed,” wrote A. J. Gordon, “but you can never do more than pray until you have prayed.” It is a divinely ordered sequence…

Confession and joy

Lord, Your holiness and grandeur to me are both an attraction and something I would sometimes just run away from.  Your holiness is beautiful, more beautiful than the best I might have seen and known in what You have created…

We ‘just‘ want to pray

Isn’t it good that God ‘just’ not always answer our prayers the way we bring our petitions before Him? This means He answers with wisdom and understanding beyond our own…

Excuses for not praying

We try to press ahead without fuel in the tank! We know the importance of filling up. However, we try to get a bit further. Then we discover the needle of the fuel gauge has not been moving for quite a while…
