Start the Month in August with Bishop Paul and Sarah (183) – 1st August 2025

‘Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.’ Psalm 4:3

As we enter August, a month that often invites rest and refreshment, Bishop Paul and Sarah reflect on Psalm 4, reminding us of God’s joy and peace that is available to us whatever our circumstances.

They share how in the Psalm, David draws confidence from the fact that God desires him and hears his cry for help. This can also be a reminder to us to pray for those who are without the most basic needs, thinking particularly of those suffering in Gaza and other places of conflict and famine.

We pray that as you watch this Start the Month, you will know God’s joy and peace in the midst of whatever you’re doing this summer.
