Daily Devotions for Tuesday 1st August, 2023

SUMMER BUZZ

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

Reading : PSALM 11
In the LORD I take refuge.

What do the words mean to you at this time?

Take time to Pray in response – including for others known to you in need at this time
Asking….seeking…knocking….for our world, our nation.

We can but worship you this day O LORD
We can but ask for those in need or trouble this day O LORD
As we call out to you for our world in these days
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 11
Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes

God of the psalmist and the God of today,
The God of perfect refuge
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we thank you for your help today
As we journey from today to tomorrow
As we name others we care about before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

SUMMER BUZZ starts

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

Reading : LUKE 24 verses 50-52
Meditation : take time and consider this psalm of praise this particular Sunday morning.
Jesus is taken up to Heaven
Who is this Jesus to you?

Then Pray with words and songs of praise in response to the LORD our God

Praise the LORD!
Sing a new song to the LORD;
praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!
Be glad, Israel, because of your Creator;
rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!
Praise his name with dancing;
play drums and harps in praise of him.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on families across our SEECOS Church Family
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these closing verses again from LUKE 24 verses 50-52
Reflect on what you read and then give praise to our God in response

Praise the LORD!

The LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he honours the humble with victory.
Let God’s people rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.

And so to you, O God, we bring our evening words of prayer
In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Sunday Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this week….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LUKE chapter 23 verses 1-12 – as we 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 Sunday – 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 – especially prayerfully supporting the people in other parts of our world in deep need at this time

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

Bible Verse for the Week and Sunday Morning Reflection

The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
