27th September 2013 – I pray for the services in the church to which I belong this coming week-end. I ask Lord that they will be times when we clearly hear from you and receive encouragement and comfort; occasions when we grow upwards in you. Thank you that we are all on your building site, and our salvation is ‘under construction.’ Bring it all to wonderful completion Lord God, for your glory and honour.
26th September 2013 – I ask you, Lord Jesus, to develop in me, your lover, an immeasurable urge towards you, an affection that is unbounded, a longing that is unrestrained, a fervor that throws discretion to the winds!…There is no one more blessed than he who dies because he loves so much. No creature can love God too much. Richard Rolle.

18th September 2013 – Lord God, when I look in the mirror, I find it hard to see beauty; but when I look in the mirror of your Word, I see a picture of myself as you see me. It takes my breath away. Thank you Heavenly Father for this whole new perspective. Help me to always see me through your eyes.
17th September 2013 – Thank you Lord that I can stand shoulder to shoulder with people like Moses, Aaron and Samuel in calling on your Name. What a privilege!

13th September 2013 – Lord, by your Holy Spirit, intensify my longing for you. Forgive my idleness; please pardon any inclination towards spiritual laziness.

12th September 2013 – Thank you Lord for placing me in your body where we all need each other, and, above all, we are totally dependent on you.

6th September 2013 – Thank you Lord that you have given me new eyes, to be able to see myself as you see me. Help me to grow in loving you and enjoying your love for me.

5th September 2013 – Thank you Lord that you do some of your very best work ‘in the dark’. In the midst of a world that can scorch me, help me to always keep my own vineyard
4th September 2013 – Lord Jesus, your Name is like ointment poured forth. Just to speak your Name brings peace and comfort to my troubled soul. Thank you for your love, wonderful Jesus. ‘Lord it is my chief complaint, that my love is weak and faint; yet I love thee, and adore. Oh for grace to love thee more.’
3rd September 2013 – Lord, please grant that every Christian marriage will be filled with a growing love that reflects your love for the church.
2nd September 2013 – However busy I may be today Lord God of my salvation, and no matter what challenges I face, let me not forget your wonders and lose my song. May every part of this day be set to music!
