About belief and unbelief

Dear God, 
All my belief is in you.
All my unbelief is in me.

A short prayer about what we have and what we don't have

Dear God, 
help us not to spend our lives 
grieving for what we do not have
but rejoicing for what we do have.

About discerning the important things in life

1. MAKING TIME FOR GOD 

God has made time for us. We need God in our lives. We must make time for God. 

 

2. MAKING TIME FOR OTHERS

 

We learn and receive more by caring about and for others. This we must seek to do.

3. MAKING TIME FOR OURSELVES

We must discern our potentials and seek to fulfil all which we feel called to be and do.

4. DISCERNING OUR PRIORITIES

We need to be aware of and prioritise all which we NEED to do.

5. DISCERNING WHAT WE NEED TO GIVE UP

We need to discern and remove what is 'over-filling' our lives and becoming a slavery.

I do know that this is all more easily said than done, especially by me!

A prayer about doing and saying things in the right way

Very often, in life,
it's not what we do, 
it's the way that we do it,
and it's not what we say, 
it's the way that we say it,
that causes offence to others.

Help us, dear Lord, 
to do what we do
and say what we say
in such a way
as not to cause offence.

And should we fail, 
help to be truly sorry,
and to say so, 
as graciously as possible.
