Daily Devotions for Saturday 15th August, 2020

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : PSALM 101 verse 4

Meditation : take time to consider this one verse this morning.
What is God saying to you today from His Word?
What is your response – the same as the psalmist?

And then Pray in response
Make the words of this verse part of your morning prayer today

O God,
Hear my morning prayer
And have mercy
As I lay myself
And others
And this day
Before you
In Jesus’ name.
Amen

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer

As we consider being “fearfully and wonderfully made” in Your image God, we think of what makes us special. Our five physical senses which enable us to experience joy, pleasure, and wonderment, at your creation Also, we, like you, have knowledge, understanding and wisdom.
Most of all our heavenly father you have imbued us with love, that deep sense of care and empathy which raises us above your creation.
We receive your love to dispense your love, may we continue to do so in Jesus name. Amen

Evening
Reading : read these words again from PSALM 101.4 at the end of your day

Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response

LORD God, our God, hear our prayers this evening
As we return our thanks to You for your help and protection
As we name others who struggle at this time
As we trust you for tomorrow
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Call to Midday Prayer

Some were fools; they rebelled
and suffered for their sins.
They couldn’t stand the thought of food,
and they were knocking on death’s door.
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He sent out his word and healed them,
snatching them from the door of death.
Let them praise the Lord for his great love
and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving
and sing joyfully about his glorious acts

Words from this morning’s Daily Devotions – PSALM 107

As we name others in need known to us
Amen we say together
