Daily Devotions for Sunday 22nd November, 2020

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

Reading : PSALM 119 verse 137

Meditation : take time to consider this part of the psalm on this Sunday.
What do the words mean for you in your life?
What is your response to God’s written Word today?

And then pray in response

In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

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

Heavenly Father — You know us better than we know ourselves.
We are conscious of our own limitations, and the weakness of our faith and witness.
Give us your Strength and Power –
show us how to find the right way – in the footsteps of your Son.
Let the re-assurance of your forgiveness be with us always.
We think of your promises given to your people over the ages — to Abraham — to David –
to Solomon — to the Virgin Mary — to the Apostles and Saints– and to us in our generation.
Help us to live out these Promises, with the help of your Holy Spirit.
Enable us to follow in the path of our Saviour, your Son Jesus Christ.
Make us more fully able to love You, to love our neighbours, and to love ourselves in due measure.
Give life in all its fullness, to our communities and to us,
so that in this way we may be agents in the advancement of your Kirk, in our World.
AMEN

Evening
Reading : read this verse again from Psalm 119
Reflect on the words spoken here and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our Rock, our Creator, our King,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you.
As we return our thanks to you
As we acknowledge You our Saviour and Help even this day.
As we pray for all corners of our world
To know of Jesus – pandemic or not!
In His saving name, Amen.

A Call to Saturday Evening Prayer

At this time in your day you are invited to pause and pray with others as we step into Sunday.

You may wish to revisit Psalm 119.132 and the Daily Devotions for today

You may need to name others before Father God

You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day

Thy Kingdom Come #Praise

As part of God’s Church we participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year. This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago now!

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of PRAISE as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to take time to bring our sacrifice of praise to the LORD our God

We praise Him for who He is – the Living and True God

We praise Him with songs of praise!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the name of Jesus!
Praise my soul the King of Heaven!

We praise Him Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In Jesus’ name….Amen and Amen!
