Daily Devotions for Saturday 9th October, 2021

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

Reading : PSALM 18 verses 30-50

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
David’s song of praise and words of prayer continue.
Which words stay with you today?

And then Pray with rejoicing in response to what you read – to this God of ours.
Pray for God’s help today for yourself and for another


In Jesus’ name
Amen and 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 the set verses from PSALM 18 again
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer

LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are
For your help and protection even today
And as we give it all back to you
May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
