God Wants to Draw Near to You
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.
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, may we know You to that
extent in the depths of our being.
Your voice is far deeper than
words for You Lord has ways
of making Your heartbeat known
to those whose hearts are tender.
And even as we purpose to yield
our hearts towards You, won’t
You share Your deepest impulses
with us. In His name, Amen.
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 Humbly Submit to You;
help us Depend solely on You &
help us Keep On Praying. Amen.
