They prayed for me

I was walking across the Market Place - busy on one of my many 'things to do'.

I stopped to chat to the people from the Vineyard Church who pray for people right there. And instead of the usual quick few words they insisted on praying for me. It was a real privilege to be prayed for.

O for a closer walk with God

We sang today a hymn today with words by William Cowper called 'O for a closer walk with God' It was old fashioned and more poem than hymn and very personal...

Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn
And drove Thee from my breast.

The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
