Destiny Church Langwarrin

Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is

severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in Me. "Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them,

will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

Welcome to Destiny Church Langwarrin, where our doors are open to people from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are on their personal spiritual journey.

If you are new to Destiny or are considering joining us regularly, we hope you will find a place where you feel warmly welcomed and at home. Please stay after the service to join us for morning tea.

The year seems to be going past very quickly. Soon it will be time to celebrate Christmas again. As we en-ter into the second month of Spring, make certain you take the time to stop and smell the roses. I read a beautiful prayer written by John & Ramona Rohrer, that they pray at the beginning of their day. It’s a good way to get things into the proper perspective at this busy time in our lives.

Prayer, The Best Way to Start Our Day

Dear Lord, I thank you for this day.

I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this

morning.

I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an

understanding God.

You have done so much for me and You keep on

blessing me.

Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said

or thought that was not pleasing to you.

I ask now for Your forgiveness.

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude and

plenty of gratitude.

Let me make the best of each and every day to clear

my mind so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things

that are from You. ...

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no

control over.

Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and

acknowledge it as evil.

And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my

mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of

God..

And when this world closes in on me, let me remember

Jesus' example – to slip away and find a quiet place to

pray.

It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my

limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.

Continue to use me to do Your will.

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.

Keep me strong that I may help the weak... Keep me

uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for

others.

I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way.

I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.

I pray for those who don't know You intimately.

I pray for those who don't believe.

But I thank you that I believe.

I believe that God changes people and God changes

things.

I pray for all my sisters and brothers.

For each and every family member in their households.

I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they

are out of debt and all their needs are met.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no

problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God.

Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.

I pray that these words be received into the hearts of

every eye that sees them and every mouth that con-

fesses them willingly..

This is my prayer.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

And I pray that you have a wonderful week and that your days are truly blessed, Love Kathy
