23rd May 2013 –  Help me Lord to always read your Word in order to obey it. Keep me from the hypocrisy of calling others to do what I am unwilling to do.

22nd May 2013 – Lord God, thank you for the precious gift of speech. Help me to use words wisely, thoughtfully and with restraint. Help me to be an encourager of children and younger people. Let my words build up everyone in your body.

21st May 2013 – Lord, if I am planning anything that is not your will for me, please put a roadblock in my way. Save me from myself and my own way, however well-intentioned I may be. Your will be done.

16th May 2013 –  Thank you Lord for the gifts you have entrusted to me. Help me to so use them that the church gets built and your Name glorified.

15th May 2013 – Thank you Lord that you are a God of order and not of chaos. Thank you for the order I see in your church. Thank you for my place within your order and the knowledge that you have gifted me to play my part.

14th May 2013 – Lord God, all that I have is yours. Keep me from any greedy, grasping attitude towards that you have blessed me with and entrusted to my care. Thank you for your generosity, and for the enormous privilege of giving.

13th May 2013 – Thank you Lord that you have generously provided all we need to keep growing and stay spiritually fresh. Let us not neglect, to our spiritual detriment, what you have freely given.

9th May 2013 – Thank you Lord that you choose to work through us. It is such a privilege, and how gracious of you to then reward us. But may we never fail to see that the work is yours and so is all the glory.

8th May 2013 –  Lord please bless our ‘gatekeepers’ with great wisdom and courage. Above all, thank you that you watch over us.

7th May 2013 –  Lord I thank you for your wonderful gift of music. Thank you for the many times my own heart has been moved and stirred by good music. I ask that every musician in your church will recognise their privilege and responsibility. Let them always give you the very best and aim at all times to lift up your Name and not their talent. Indeed, whatever our gifts, may such be our attitude. To God be all the glory

6th May 2013 – Thank you dear Lord for your many and varied gifts. Thank you for the gift of organisation. May it be used by your Spirit and under your Word to glorify your Name and serve your church.

3rd May 2013 – Thank you Lord. You have caused me to understand that I am secure in you in all things. I realise this is not about the total absence of danger but the continual presence of God, and peace.

2nd May 2013 – We confess to you, dear Lord, our absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit. We cannot know or convey one spiritual truth without Him. We pray that many blind eyes will be opened, as ours have been. We want to say how deeply grateful we are for your gracious gift of spiritual sight. We don’t deserve it. We are eternally thankful for it.

1 May 2013 – Thank you Lord for all the people who serve quietly behind the scenes so that the public ministry of the church can go on. Help us all to value and honour them, and communicate to them that they are appreciated in your sight. Let them understand that what they do is ministry too.
