Staying Connected to God
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 & building up others.
True faith & good works cannot be
divorced, for your life is the lab in
which your faith is shown to be real.
Dear Lord, we realise You want
believers not only to hear the truth
but also to do it. Grant us grace
to Love You, Draw Close to You
and to Live Out our faith in You.
Help us Seek Wisdom from You;
Help us Humbly Submit to You;
Help us Keep On Praying. Amen.
Lord, we will Seek Your Wisdom:
The wisdom that comes from
heaven is first of all pure. It is
also peace loving, gentle at all
times and willing to yield to others.
It is full of mercy and good deeds…
And those who are peacemakers
will plant seeds of peace and reap
a harvest of goodness (Jas 3:17-18)
Lord, Thank You for making Your
divine wisdom available to us
through Your indwelling Holy Spirit.
Thank You for Your wisdom that
is peace-loving, gentle, merciful
and willing to yield to others.
Thank You for the provision of
Your wisdom as we abide in You.
Show us what to do in difficult
situations that we are facing; for
we need Your view of things. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Humbly Submit to You:
He gives more grace. Therefore
He says: God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.
Therefore submit to God. Resist
the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will
draw near to You (James 4:6-8).
Lord, keep me from being full
of myself, thinking myself better
or more important than others.
Also help me not to worry
about keeping up with others.
Help me to humbly submit to You
and draw near to You each day;
for You show favour to the humble.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, we will Keep On Praying:
The prayer offered in faith
will make the sick person well…
Therefore confess your sins to
each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man
is powerful & effective (Jas 5:15-16)
Lord, grateful our righteousness
comes because You have done
everything perfectly. And we are
seen as righteousness because
of Your great sacrifice on the cross.
Help us to confess our sins not
only to You, but also to each other
so that healing can come to us all.
Thank You for making our prayers
powerful and effective. Amen.
