Prayer for Today 

Loving God, forgive me when I burn myself out on those things that don’t ultimately matter but am not fired up by those that do.  By your Spirit teach me to know what really counts in your eyes and by that same Spirit bring it to life in me.  For your kingdoms sake.  

Amen

This is an excellent result and is an increase of £67 on last year.£317 of this has been given under Gift Aid which means a further amount of £85 approximately will be forwarded in due course.
