Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus I thank you
that you are my rock and my fortress and my Saviour, my God, my rock in whom I
take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold in
times of trouble.
Lord Jesus I would praise you forever. I
called on you, and I was saved from my enemies.
I confess that I am your
creature worthy only of your condemnation and destruction because of my rebellion
and all my manifold sins and wickedness. However you bowed the heavens and came
down in the shape of my rescuer and redeemer Jesus Christ. You became man and
took on yourself all judgement and punishment that should have been mine and transferred
me from the kingdom of darkness to the everlasting kingdom of the risen and
ascended Jesus Christ, bringing me into the family of your church as your
friend and witness.
Lord Jesus my soul pants for
you, for more of you in my life the risen and life giving saviour.
Lord Jesus, help my heart to swell
in gratitude and love for all that have done for me.
How I long for your kingdom to
come not only in my own life but in the lives of my friends and family, my
church, my town and my nation.
Help me to be an instrument of
your peace to all I meet, that through the power of the Holy Spirit, working in
my life, your kingdom and rule would be advanced and extended not only in my
own life but in the lives of all I meet. Help me to be light and salt as I
follow your path, guided and directed by your wonderful living and powerful
Holy Spirit.
All these things I ask, through
the powerful name of the risen and glorified Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen
