Verse for the week
‘Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!' (Isaiah 30:18)
|
Prayer for the week
Lord, we are like ‘Seasons':
Young in Spring,
Growing in Summer,
Mature in Autumn,
And fulfilled in Winter.
We hope and pray that at the end of our season our faith will be strong, our compassion endless, our love overflowing and when we meet you face-to-face you will say to us ‘salvation is yours'.
Thank you Lord Jesus for giving up so much to be our Saviour. Help us this Lent to honour your name in all that we do.
Amen
