A Prayer of Repentance:
Searcher of hearts, it is a good day to me when You give me a glimpse of myself;
sin is my greatest evil, but You are my greatest good;
I have cause to loathe myself, and not to seek self-honour,
for no one desires to commend his own dunghill.
My country, family, church fare worse because of my sins…
Give me grace to recall my needs.
(from The Valley of Vision)
A Prayer of Thanksgiving:
O Lord God,
Teach me to know that grace precedes, accompanies, and follows my salvation,
that it sustains the redeemed soul, that not one link of its chain can never break.
From Calvary’s cross wave upon wave of grace reaches me,
deals with my sin, washes me clean,
renews my heart, strengthens my will,
draws out my affection,
kindles a flame in my soul.
(From The Valley of Vision)

Americans made it clear that if they have to choose between a nuclear-armed Iran and high fuel prices, they'll accept a nuclear-armed Iran, along with some supporters of the Iranian regime in their own halls of power. Our own government is just as short-sighted.

The election of transgender candidates and Tasmania’s sweeping conversion-practices ban illustrate a civilisational crisis. While the 'anti-conversion' bill has already passed the lower house, one MP's opposing speech was a clarion call for sanity in a time when people had sadly lost their minds.
