Daily Devotions for Sunday 8th October, 2023

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : JOHN 11 verses 1-16
Meditation : take time to consider these words on this Sunday.
The death of Lazarus.

What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you this morning?
What is your response to this passage?

And then pray in response,
Naming others known to you on a journey of grief

In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Evening
Reading : read these words again from JOHN 11 verses 1-16
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our gracious and merciful God,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need of your comfort at this time
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To serve and speak out for Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
