Father, It is such an amazing honour that You have chosen us and consider us as precious in Your eyes. You have even made us a holy priesthood. Why have we not taken possession of this precious spiritual treasure? Why do we sulk when we are not chosen by our schools, our bosses, or our […]

Father,  You have called us to put our hope in You both now and forevermore. In You, there is the hope of promises fulfilled.  But we lose hope because we are not prepared for the realities of this broken world. We lose hope because we expect You to work according to our desires and our

Father,  Even though Your children walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil. For You are with us. Your rod and your staff, they comfort us. You alone are our shield and refuge. But we seek protection apart from You. We trust in man made things and methods to keep

Father,  We are adopted as your children into Your Holy Kingdom. You have made us Your heirs and fellow heirs with Christ for all the heavenly inheritance.

Lord we come as one community. We come young and old, of different generations, of different influences. We are the body of Christ! Yet we see such differences. Where our differences have become divisions – we are thankful for Jesus! It is His broken body that unites us, as one new body. Lord, forgive us

Father, You are the only One who can fully satisfy the deep hunger of our souls. Jesus has given Himself as the bread of life. Whoever comes to Him shall not hunger, and whoever believes in Him shall never thirst. Yet, we act as if the bread of life is less satisfying than breadcrumbs. We

Heavenly Father! Lord God Almighty! We ascribe to You the praise You deserve. You dwell in unapproachable light. You are altogether unlike us – and Your ways are unlike ours. You are holy!
