Saturday Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into Sunday….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from MATTHEW chapter 5 verse 6– as we start to consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Saturday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow

Daily Devotions for Saturday 14th January, 2023

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

Reading : MATTHEW chapter 5 verse 6

Meditation : take the time to consider these particular words this Saturday morning.
Hunger and thirst for Righteousness.
What are you encouraged and challenged by from God’s written Word?
Is there someone you can encourage with these words today?

And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Naming others on a spiritual journey at this time

Amen we pray together this new day.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

Dear Jesus, to each other we have given our gifts of love
When we celebrated your birth.
But the wise men brought gifts
Showing Your Kingship,
The bitterness of life,
And the embalming in death.
Help us to remember that You came Purposefully
To exchange Your Life for ours.
Amen

Evening
Reading : read the words again from MATTHEW chapter 5 verse 6
Reflect on the truths behind the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read

Examine me, O God, and know my mind;
test me, and discover my thoughts.
Find out if there is any evil in me
and guide me in the everlasting way

Hear our evening prayers
Deepen our hunger for You
Bless those seeking to find You

In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
