Daily Devotions for Thursday 21st April, 2022

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

Reading : ROMANS 2 verse 16

Meditation : take time and consider these words this morning.
On that day God will Judge.
What is your response to God and His Word today?

Then pause to praise and pray to this God we believe and trust in

Your rule is eternal,
and you are king forever.
The LORD is faithful to his promises;
he is merciful in all his acts.
He helps those who are in trouble;
he lifts those who have fallen.

And so we bring our morning words of prayer to you, our God
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on Emily Kerrigan
God of grace…hear our prayers and pour a blessing we ask on her as she works with our children and young people

Evening
Reading : read these words again from ROMANS 2 verse 16

Reflect on the words and images – at the end of your day
and Pray with honest humility in response to this God – our God

People will speak of your mighty deeds,
and I will proclaim your greatness.
They will tell about all your goodness
and sing about your kindness.
The LORD is loving and merciful,
slow to become angry and full of constant love.
He is good to everyone
and has compassion on all he made.

O LORD, hear our evening prayers
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
