Daily Devotions for Friday 11th February, 2022

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : ROMANS 11 verses 13-24

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
Salvation for the Gentiles
What are you encouraged and challenged by today?
What words stay with you?

Then take time to Pray and Praise this God of ours
The God with a Master Plan
Looking again at verse 22

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

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Church in hard places in our world
Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy and pour out blessings we ask

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from ROMANS 11 verses 13-24

Reflect on the way God has blessed you in your life
and pray in response to Him
and for others in our world at this time

LORD God, the God of saving grace and undeserved mercy
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.

Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into the weekend – with God – together – you may want to revisit the truths from today’s Daily Devotions from ROMANS chapter 8 verses 31-39

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer

We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others

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

Pause to Pray for Others

On this first Friday of the new month…as the nation and the world still wrestles with the new variant and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern are before us in our nation and our world … 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 continue 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 – including Afghanistan and Ukraine

For family and friends and neighbours

For the work of Open Doors to be salt and light in our world

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time
