Let me share in Your eternal life.

Lord Jesus, through Your word

Lord Jesus, risen Christ,
May I rise, too.
Amen

Wednesday, July 13:

Though I love You, Lord
With the strength of my arms
And the sweat of my brow,

But works of love
In Your name,
By Your power,
And for Your glory.
Amen

Thursday, July 14:

Lord Jesus, give me rest
From the burdens that I bear
From work and weariness
From the aches of a long journey
From worries and sorrows
Place Your hands upon me
And with Your words of life
Lord, give me comfort,
Lord, give me rest
Amen

Friday, July 15:

Lord in Heaven, maker of earth,
God of power and might,
Who saw and knew and loved me,
Before You said “let there be light.”
O Lord, I rejoice in creation,
The sun and the land and the sea,
Created and never abandoned,
The mountains, the sparrow, and me.
Amen

For love alone,
