Daily Devotions for Friday 15th October, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : PSALM 92

Meditation : as we pause today we take time to consider these words this morning.
What are you encouraged and challenged by today?
What words stay with you?

Then take time to Pray and Praise this God of ours
Making words from this psalm your own today

In Jesus’ name.
Amen and Amen – we pray together.

Midday
We give thanks for those who work on our buses and trams
Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy and pour out blessings we ask

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 92
Reflect on the way God has blessed you in your life
and pray with thanksgiving in response to Him

LORD God, the God of help and protection,
Our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we return our sacrifice of praise for who you are
And your help even this day
As we bring ourselves to you at the end of this day.
As we name others before You.
Amen.
