Daily Devotions for Saturday 27th February, 2021

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

Reading : PSALM 18 verses 46-50

Meditation : take the time to consider these words of praise this Saturday morning.
What are you encouraged and challenged by?
Which words stay with you as your day starts?

And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Make these words your own

The LORD lives! Praise my defender!
Proclaim the greatness of the God who saves me.
He gives me victory over my enemies;
he subdues the nations under me
and saves me from my foes.
O LORD, you give me victory over my enemies
and protect me from violent people.
And so I praise you among the nations;
I sing praises to you.

Amen we pray in praise together this new day.

Midday
Pray the words of the Lord’s Prayer as your own prayer today

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 the set verses again from Psalm 18
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray’n’Praise in response to what you have read

The LORD lives! Praise my defender!
Proclaim the greatness of the God who saves me.

And so I praise you among the nations;
I sing praises to you.

LORD God, our God, hear our evening prayers.
As we worship you for who you are
As we thank you for your help this day
And name others in need of your help before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
