Pause to Pray for Others

On this Friday in October…as the nation and the world still wrestles with new cases and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern… you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time

For family and friends and neighbours

For those in our community and city affected by the virus at this time

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time of decision making as COP26 approaches

Daily Devotions for Friday 22nd October, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : LUKE 15 verses 8-10

Meditation : As we pause with Jesus this morning
Take the time and consider this scene of rejoicing!
When did you last rejoice with the angels?

And then pray in response – as your day starts
including for someone ‘lost’
and for someone recently ‘found’

Pray your own honest words to the LORD our God.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
We give thanks for the Bible in our own language
Father, Son and Holy Spirit – thank you, thank you!

Evening
Reading : read this short passage again from LUKE 15
Reflect on the words and events here and pray in response to Jesus

O LORD, hear our evening prayers
As we return our thanks to you
For those you have brought back home
And for those you are drawing nearer to at this time
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
