Daily Devotions for Sunday 28th November, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : PHILIPPIANS 1 verses 3-11

Meditation : take time and consider this passage this Sunday morning.
Why is Paul thankful?
What does he say about his prayer life?
Which words will you take with you today?

And then pray in response to this God we believe and trust in
Pausing – Rejoicing – Asking – Yielding
With thanksgiving!

Amen and Amen we say together.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer

Father God

As we pause with You

We ask

To be more like Jesus

To keep in step with the Holy Spirit

For others

To meet with Jesus

To know the help of the Spirit

Please

In Jesus’ name

Amen

Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from PHILIPPIANS 1
Reflect on the words and images as your day closes
And then we pause to pray in response to this God we believe and trust in

Pausing – Rejoicing – Asking – Yielding
With thanksgiving!

Let us have confidence, then, and approach God’s throne, where there is grace.
There we will receive mercy and find grace to help us just when we need it.

What a Friend we have in Jesus!

Jesus, name above all names.

Amen and Amen we say together.
