"Let Him do to me as seems good to Him" |
Father, bless us and may we see Your hand, and Your work in our lives this week, as You do for us what we can’t possibly do for ourselves. As we learn to walk with You, in trust, and in confidence, committing our ways unto You, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly above all that we might ask or think, and You will not let us fall, but You will keep us, by Your power, through Your grace. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. |

2 Corinthians 7:1-16
(Palm Sunday chart enclosed) |
|
Father, again how grateful, on the week from Palm Sunday to Easter, we are for the Word of God, for the comfort of the Holy Spirit. For the health and the strength that He gives to us to do the things that You want us to do. To be the person You would have us to be. Help us Lord, to walk in Your love. Help us to walk in the Spirit. Help us, Lord, that we might receive instruction and correction in fear and in love so that we might respond, Lord, with zeal to do the right thing. And Lord, bring to us the Godly sorrow over the sinful issues in our lives, the kind of sorrow that will affect changes. Not just to say I’m sorry and go right back to it again. But, Lord, I’m sorry and I forsake it. I renounce (formally abandon) it. So, Lord, may we renounce the life of the flesh that we might live after the Spirit. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. |

Acts 17:1-34 |
"A Witness between Us and You" |
Father, we thank You again for Your word. We thank You Lord for the ministry of Paul the apostle, that stands to us as an inspiration to getting out and sharing Your truth with others and not really being concerned about the persecution that often follows the proclaiming of the gospel. That Lord, we will be bold in our witness for You. Knowing, Lord, that You alone are able to save men from sin and to give to them eternal life. That without You they are hopelessly lost. So Lord, may we be the bearers of good news to a lost world in which we live. That our live, Lord, may be a witness of You as You by Your Spirit change us and transform us into Your image. Lord, let the light of love of the gospel shine forth in this darkened world through our lives. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen |

Father, be with us and watch over us and bless us, in all our ways. Lord, write your law upon the fleshly tablets of our heart.

Father, help us to absorb all we heard. That it might soak in and sink in. Lord, take root in our hearts.

That we might live the new life in Christ. That glorious life where You does not observe iniquity, or see the failure. But Lord, only sees us in the perfection of Your Son. Walking in the Spirit, Lord, help us. May this be a week of victory, in Christ, as You give us victory over our flesh, and over the life of the flesh. Through the power of the living Savior.

For though heaven and earth may pass away, we know that Your word is going to abide forever. And so Lord thank You for Your word and the opportunity of studying the word that we might grow thereby.

Father, we come today looking at the injunctions in these passages, looking at the teaching in these passages. And Lord, help us that we might become as a little child, simple in our faith and in our trust. And Lord may we have a concern for those little ones that trust in you. May we encourage them, may we love them, may we teach them, may they be brought by us to a fuller understanding of Your love for them. And Lord, help us that we would not be guilty of causing offences to Your Name or to the kingdom of God. Help us Lord to walk after Your Spirit. May we not offend those little ones that have come to trust in You because of certain liberties that we feel we have the freedom to exercise. But may we live by the higher law of love and walk in love even towards the weaker brethren. Thank You Lord for Your presence. Thank You for the power that You’ve entrusted into our hands. And now Lord, make it complete, give to us the capacity to forgive fully, just like You have forgiven us. In Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Isaiah 28:29
|

Father, we thank You for that perfect peace that we have through Jesus Christ who came on the earth from heaven today about 2,000 years ago, and through knowing Lord, that our lives are in Your hands. That nothing can touch us unless you allow it to touch us. And, if You allow it to touch us, then You have a reason, and a purpose, for having allowed it. The reasons and the purposes that You have for us are good, because You love us. You are only doing that which is necessary, that good might come from it. Oh Lord how thankful we are that we can live with this confidence, and this assurance, that You love us, and that You are in control of the circumstances and the issues of our lives! So now, on 2022 Christmas day, help us Lord to look unto Jesus, just keep our minds on You, that we might love the least one and experience Your perfect peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen. |
