Prayer of Approach

 

Eternal God, you invite us to partner with you in your plan of salvation for those whom you have given life. Cleanse our thoughts of what is not of you that we may be guided aright in serving you. Draw us nearer to you that we may find it possible to enter into deeper and richer experiences of your grace that will build up the relationships that you have given us in Christ Jesus.

 Hear this prayer for it is offered through the living Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen.

 

A Moment With God

 

Those who are witnesses to the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives are truly valuable assets to the Body of Christ as it seeks to grow. Looking to such persons can greatly enrich our own experience of encounter with Christ as the reality of their relationships with the Saviour encourages us to discover more of what it means to belong to Jesus. Our entering into the relationship we have with Christ more deeply further prepares us to become sources of inspiration to those around us.
