Daily Devotions for Wednesday 6th January, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : EXODUS 3 verses 1-6

Meditation : consider these particular words this morning.
The God of the Burning Bush.
What words and images stay with you?
What is God saying to you today about Himself as your day starts?
Is there a response God is asking of you?

And then pray in response – to this God of ours
Looking again at verses 5 and 6 as you turn to prayer

O LORD our God,
We hear your call
We turn to you
Call us closer
In Jesus’ name,
Amen and amen!

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Church of Scotland as the year begins
LORD, hear our prayers and give blessing real good we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these set verses again from EXODUS 3
Humbly reflect on what you read and then pray in response –
for yourself and for others

LORD God, Father God, hear our many different prayers
As we thank you for your call on our lives
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
