Thanksgiving In James 1 (May 10)

Thank God for Help In Trouble

Just as a human body that fails
to breathe is labelled a dead body,
so too a faith that fails to breathe
us labelled a dead faith. And the
breath of faith in the Christian life
is good works: demonstrating
concern for the poor, controlling
the tongue, exhibiting a spirit of
humility and building up others.

Lord, we Seek for Your Help:
Consider it pure joy whenever You
face trials because the testing of
Your faith produces Perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work
so that you may be mature and
complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you Lacks Wisdom,
he should Ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding
fault, and it will be given to him.
But when he asks, he must believe
and not doubt (Jas 1:2-6). Amen.

Lord, grant me the hallmark of
my faith be the ability to face
troubles with Your perspective
in mind. Grant me the ability to
face troubles with Your grace.
Help me to hold on to Your promise
so that when my faith is tested,
endurance has a chance to grow.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Lord, thank You that Your Word
promises that You will give
wisdom to us when we ask for it.
So I ask for wisdom, for I know
true wisdom comes only from You.
Help me to be wise in daily decision
especially when I must act quickly.
Help me to know what to do & what
not to do in any situation. Amen.

Dear Lord, we realise You want
believers not only to hear the truth
but also to do it. Grant us grace
to commit to love and to serve;
and help us to seek ways of
Living Out Our Faith In You, for
they are evidence of true faith.
Help us to have Endurance;
help us to Ask for Wisdom and
help us to be Obedient. Amen.

Thanksgiving In Heb 13 (May 9)

Thank God for Unchanging Word

Hebrews closes with an appeal for
a persevering Faith that relies on
the promises of God regardless
of the circumstances. Writing
to an audience pressured by
the world, the author urges the
kind of Faith-inspired walk that
characterised so many OT saints.
Convinced of God’s Faithfulness,
they ordered their lives according
to His Word. Follow their example
and walk by Faith; and not by sight!

Lord, we will Hold On to Your Word:
Be content for He Himself has said:
I will Never Leave You nor forsake u.
So we may boldly say: The Lord is
my helper; I’ll not fear (Heb 13:5-6)
(For) Jesus Christ is The Same
yesterday, today and forever (v8).
May the God of peace…Equip You
with all you need for doing His will.
May He produce in you… all
that is pleasing to Him. Jesus is
the great Shepherd of the sheep
by an everlasting covenant, signed
with His blood (v20-21). Amen.

Lord, thank You for the promise
that You will be Always With
me in times of great trouble.
Thank You that You are my God
and my Saviour; and that You
love me & I am precious to You.
Thank You for Your presence,
protection and shalom peace.
You are the one true God and
the only One who saves. Amen.

Lord Jesus, thanks that You never
change, which give me confidence.
Your immutability means so much
for I can trust that Your words
and character are as trustworthy
now as when U were on the earth.
So, I can trust Your promises;
and I can rely firmly on the fact
that You are always compassionate;
that You will never give up on me &
that U will always be with me. Amen

Lord, prepare me for what You’re
preparing for me. Strengthen and
Equip me with every good thing
so that I can do your will. And
Open my heart to the working
of Your Spirit so that my life
will Honour You. Produce in me,
through the power of Christ
Jesus all that is pleasing to You.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
