Collect: Gracious Father, you have blessed us in many
ways. You have given us Moses and the
prophets, and raised Jesus from the dead to show us the way. Grant that we would pay attention so as to
follow you to the gates which lead to eternal bliss that we may join with
Abraham and all the saints in the banquet with you. This we ask in the name of Yeshua haMoshiach
who lives and reigns with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory
everlasting.
3 September: Dear Lord, as the faith in Papua New Guinea
was watered by martyrs willing to give up all for you, help us to also be
always ready to make that final sacrifice for you, this we ask in the name of
him who died for us. Amen. (red) (Transferred from 2 September)
4 September:
Great Giver of All, we remember the young of our congregations and communities
who will not get to college without our support. Help us to share with those
institutions that provide for their training and development. For Yeshua' sake.
Amen.
5 September:
O God of Hope, we remember before you all those whose situations of need
cause them to despair. Speak to us anew that we may become the means of
bringing hope to a hopeless and helpless people.
In the name of Yeshua.
Amen.
6 September: Holy
God, we confess that we have broken our covenant with you and have not been
faithful to our vows with one another. Lead us by your grace to find peace with
you and with all of our neighbours. For the sake of Yeshua HaMoshiach our Lord.
Amen.
7 September:
Merciful God, use our church family scattered in various places to show forth
your praise in all that we do. Let us as individuals build up our
church families. Grant us grace to accept others
in their struggles so that they may draw near to you. In the precious name of Yeshua.
Amen.
8 September: Gracious God, we pray that you will draw us
all nearer to you. Strengthen the devotion of those who are falling away and
inspire anew all those whose doubts burden them. In the matchless name of Yeshua.
Amen.
