Daily Devotions for Tuesday 5th November, 2019

Upper Room day – time out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : JAMES chapter 1 verses 19-27

Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
Listening and Doing.
What words stay with you? What is God saying to you from His Word?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to wait before God…and listening to Him

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from James 1
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes
LORD God, our great God,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I listen to your voice
And
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O Living and True God, our heavenly Father, hear our evening prayers
As we look back on this day.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
