As for me and my house

A prayer based on Joshua 24:1-33.

Lord God, We praise you for leading your people to the promised land. Ever since you called Abraham, and his descendants you have been faithful. We thank you for Jesus, who came according to your promise. His life, death and ressurection - give us sure and certain hope of eternal rest. We thank you for your church, And for the particular way in which you have worked in the communites of Chryston and Moodiesburn. As we anticipate a new chapter in the story of what you are doing in your church here in 2020, we thank you for all who have went before. For vision, committment, service and prayer - receive our thanks. As we thank you, we committ ourselves to you. We are aware how easy words are to say Yet following you is never easy. Help us to live up to the committment we have made. May we lead our families to do the same. Give us all a passion for you. Cause us to forsake all others for you. May you be the one whom we honour. May you be our greatest desire. May we live our lives for you. Help us to make that choice today. And tomorrow, next week and next year. Until that day, when we shall you face to face. And enter your rest. In Jesus, our Saviours name we pray, AMEN.
