Daily Devotions for Saturday 25th July, 2020

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

Reading : PSALM 23 verse 6

Meditation : take the time to consider these familiar words this Saturday morning.
‘I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever’
What are you encouraged and challenged by?
Is this your hope?

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

Amen we pray in praise together this new day!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own 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 words again from PSALM 23.6
Reflect on David’s words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read

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
As we say this is our great hope!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Call to Midday Prayer

You guide me with your counsel,
leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.

Those who desert him will perish,
for you destroy those who abandon you.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

Together we say Amen.
