Daily Devotions for Monday 9th January, 2023

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

Reading : MATTHEW chapter 5 verses 1-12

Meditation : as we pause with God, take time to consider this part of the Bible this morning.
The Sermon on the Mount.
What is God teaching/reminding you today from His written Word?
What words of Jesus stay with you?
What words can you pass on to someone else today?

Pray in response to what you have read
Naming others before Father God

Thank you Father God for your help and grace and comfort
Hear our morning prayers we ask
As we name others before you
In and through Christ Jesus we pray together, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those on our Church Family prayer list
O LORD, hear our prayers and bless them all good we ask – even today.

Evening
Reading : read these words again from MATTHEW chapter 5 verses 1-12
Reflect on the words here and then Pray in response
Naming others before Father God

Thank you Father God for your help and mercy and blessing
Hear our evening prayers we ask
As we name others before you
In and through Christ Jesus we pray together, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come – revisited

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture last year – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world!

Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the themes of the TKC venture….and this time we revisit the theme of PRAY FOR 5
You are invited to pause and pray for up to 5 friends, family members, neighbours, colleagues to meet Jesus and to know God for themselves.

Our Father, who art in heaven

As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of Jesus.
Amen and Amen.
