Hallowed be your name.
There is no-one like God. His name is above every other name, (Philippians 2:9-11). His treatment of us defies description too: he is full to bursting with grace and truth (John 1: 14). This is because he is holy: set apart, different, glorious to an extent we cannot fully apprehend. Furthermore, he is gloriously loving and unerringly right. In Psalm 145, David declares what God is like and how he treats those who approach him.
17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways
and loving toward all he has made.
18 The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfils the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
What a comfort it is to know that God is righteous always: there is no sin, darkness or fallibility in him whatsoever. Furthermore, he overflows with love towards all whom he wisely and carefully creates. We are crafted by his holy hand for relationship with him and to experience personally his love and care. Sin, sex work, indifference and every barrier are overcome when we call on him, because he hears our cry in order to save us.
Reflection
How do you experience God’s righteousness and love towards you?
How does God’s nearness to you affect your love for him and for others?
How does God’s desire to hear the cry of the afflicted and save them shape how you pray for the women we reach and your expectation of his salvation for them?
Thanksgiving
Thank God that he is always entirely holy, glorious, righteous, generous and faithful – in other words, like no-one else we will ever meet.
Thank God for Grace who came to know and trust Jesus in 2025, and who has a new future full of hope and expectation with restored relationships with her family.
Thank God that he wants to save more women whose lives will never be the same.
Prayer
Pray that all of us in Chosen would worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, always acknowledging their holiness and faithfulness.
Pray that he would display his holiness to our women enabling them to walk free from lives of control, brokenness and addiction and into righteousness and wholeness.
Pray that his distinctive and holy presence through the Holy Spirit would be evident whenever we meet the women: on outreach, Drop-In, as we advocate for them.
Our women
Please pray for salvation, healing, strength, deliverance and new lives for our women:
Angelina, Anna, Beth, Carmel, Damaris, Deborah.
