Lord Jesus, thank you so much for the month of July.

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for the month of July. Thank you for all the opportunities to be useful to you. Forgive us, Lord, when we were useless in the words, thoughts, actions that we committed. Thank you, for giving us the insight, the wisdom, the strength to do that which is useful in using the talents you've given us to serve you by serving others. Lord Jesus, thank you for this amazing gift of life. Thank you that this life does not end in death. Thank you that there's eternal life in heaven for all who trust in you. Lord Jesus, that is our hope, that is our confidence. As we move into August. Lord Jesus, thank you for time. Your creation. Thank you that we have a birthday. Thank you that we have a death day when we will step into your presence to enjoy you for eternity. Thank you, Jesus, that in the future, at some point, you're returning to give us new bodies, resurrection bodies to live for eternity. Thank you for this month of July. Lord, I thank you for those who are dealing with anxiety. That we can shift in this month to think about how we can actually think more with those who have anxiety about all these little things that have benefited us by your hand, things that can draw us to you. Lord, we know when we think slower, it's harder to incline our thoughts to you. But those things that anxiety, the adrenaline, even those with depression, Lord, it's an opportunity to shift our focus and mindset to you. To be the alarm, to turn you rather than to worry or disappointment. Thank you for this month of July that we've learned from our obstacles, learned from temptations, from lust, learn to sharpen iron, sharpen each other by holding each other accountable and encouraging each other. Thank you so much that we've gotten closer to family members and friends and for those who we have strained from right now. We pray for reconciliation. We pray for forgiveness, Lord, and the potential, Lord, to actually speak again. We thank you, Jesus, that you are the God of all comfort. Thank you that you are the one who reaches out for us. Jesus name. Amen.
