Daily Devotions for Sunday 10th January, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : PSALM 24

Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
God is The Great King.
What words or images stay with you?
What encourages and challenges you today?

And then pray in response to the LORD our God who reigns over all!
Use verses 7-10 as you turn to pray with worship.

O LORD our God,
Good and majestic One,
Creator God,
Great and so worthy of praise.
We bow before You.
We lay our lives before You.
O fill us with your Spirit afresh
For of ourselves we get it so wrong
Today and every day!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

Thank you, our Lord and God most high,
for your constant love every morning and your faithfulness each night,
for all you have done that rejoices our hearts:
you have taught us your wisdom, you have blessed us in our worship,
you have given us happiness, you have kept us safe,
you have strengthened us through the passing years.
Lord, we trust in your mercy and protection:
thank you, Lord. Amen

(based on the words of Psalm 92)

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 24
Reflect on all that is said here in this particular psalm and then Pray in response to this God

O LORD, our Great Kingly God,
Hear our evening prayers of praise we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
