August – September 2025
Please join me in praising and thanking our gracious God.
- ‘I praise you gracious God, for your generosity, goodness, and grace, your kindness and compassion.’
- ‘I thank you gracious God for your daily blessings and privileges in creation; for your daily blessings and privileges of salvation in Christ; and for your daily blessings and privileges of gospel ministry.’
Please join me in my daily prayers for myself.
- ‘Help me to stand in your grace, live in your love, trust in your truth, grow in your wisdom, walk in your ways, and serve in your strength, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and for your glory.’
- ‘Help me to put to death my habitual sins by the power of Jesus’s death, and live your new life by the power of your resurrection.’
- ‘May this day be my best day of trusting, honouring, loving, and serving you.’
