Daily Devotions for Saturday 14th December, 2024

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

Reading : ZECHARIAH 9 verses 9-17
Meditation : take the time to consider these words and truths this Saturday morning.
The future King

Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you today?

And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God

Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.

Amen we pray with praise together this new day!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from ZECHARIAH 9 verses 9-17
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
This is our God! The God who gives hope!

Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for Friday 13th December, 2024

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : MICAH 5 verses 2-7
Meditation : take time and consider all that is said here
A ruler from Bethlehem

What images or words stay with you?
What words encourage and challenge you today?

And then Pray with honest words to this God of ours in response

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them
and who depend on the LORD their God,
the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea,
and all that is in them.
He always keeps his promises;
He judges in favour of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry

And so we ask, Holy Spirit,
Have mercy on those we name before you
Give hope and blessing we ask
Amen – we pray together.

Father God, hear our prayers and bless them all real good we ask

Evening

Honestly
Humbly

In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen
