Trusting God In James 3-5 (Dec 9)

God Urges Staying Connected

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; and
help us Keep On Praying. Amen.

Lord, we’ll Seek & Submit to You:
The wisdom that comes from
heaven is 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)
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).
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 and effective (J5:15-16)

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 providing Your
wisdom each day as I abide in You.
Show me what to do in difficult
situations that I am facing; for
I need your view of things. Amen.

Lord, keep me from being full
of myself, thinking myself better
or more important than others.
And Lord 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, 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 & effective. Amen.
