Our Precious Saviour,
We hear You speak through the rolling thunder and witness Your pain through the raindrops. Such a deeply rebellious planet have we become, please forgive us Lord. We are grateful for the plan of redemption that You devised before the foundation of the Earth, and we thank you this morning that we have such a friend in You. You bare all our sins and grief. We count it a privilege to lay all our burdens at Your feet. Forgive us Lord when we don't carry all to You in prayer. When we have trials and temptations, when there's trouble everywhere, we will never be discouraged because we have You. There is not a friend so faithful who we can share our sorrows. You know our every weakness and when we are cumbered with a load of care we can come to You, our Refuge. And when our friends despise and forsake us, You take us in Your arms and shields us and we find solace. Praise the God of Heaven and Earth for He is ours and we are His. Be with your beloved child today. Be the Rock of our salvation and our banner of love, is my prayer, in Your Son's wonderful name, Amen.
