Daily Devotions for 7th October 2016

WHY and HOW DO I READ THE BIBLE?

Morning

Pray to hear and receive from the Lord

Reading : Hebrews 4 verses 12 and 13
Meditation : consider carefully these challenging truths written to believers
many years ago……..what is God saying to you today?

and then pray in response to this God, who sees everything
Father God,
Hear my prayer this morning.
Teach me more of Your wondrous truths
As experienced by the early believers
And written in the Bible,
And make these words I read living and true for me and my life
In Jesus’ name I ask, Amen.

Midday

Pray a blessing from God on your neighbours as you name them before Him
O Lord, hear my prayer and let Your compassion abound 

Evening

Reading : read the verses again

Reflect on the words and pray your evening prayer of response…to be open to God speaking
LORD God, receive our evening prayer.
