Daily Devotions for Monday 26th September, 2022

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

Reading : ROMANS 12 verse 12

Meditation : take time and consider this short verse this particular Sunday morning.
Joyful. Patient. Faithful.
What words stay with you?
Where are you strongest? Where are you weakest?

Then Pray with honest and humble words in response to the LORD our God

Father God
Increase my hope
Strengthen me in affliction
Help me be faithful in prayer
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the work of Fresh Start in our city
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these words again from ROMANS 12 verse 12
Reflect on what you read and then pray to our God in response

Father God
Increase my hope
Strengthen me in affliction
Help me be faithful in prayer
Even tomorrow
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Sunday Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into the new week – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from ROMANS chapter 12 verse 11– as we continue to consider the GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2022

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Sunday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our nation and in our world at this time

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

Thy Kingdom Come – at Midday – with the Cheeky Pandas

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

This prayer continues around the world!

Each Sunday at Midday we have been re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit one of the videos that was released for younger viewers….. Series 2 with the Cheeky Pandas – The Broken Song Machine – a story about OFFERING ourselves to serve God.

Daily Devotions for Sunday 25th September, 2022

* Harvest Thanksgiving *

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

Reading : ROMANS 12 verse 11

Meditation : take time and consider this verse this particular Sunday morning.
Spiritual Fervour.
How would you describe your spiritual temperature at the moment?
Where is your zeal being expressed?

And then pray in response – using the words of the verse as you turn to prayer

O God of grace
The God who restores and renews
Help me
Equip me
Use me
Even today
As we give thanks for
All your Harvest blessings to us and others
As we name places in our world
Where a harvest is not healthy

In Jesus’ name
Amen

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

How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!
How great are your ways, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!

You forgive my sin and cleanse me within
I sing and dance with joy!
You help me and guide me
I sing and dance with joy!

Praise the LORD all His people
We sing and dance with joy!
Praise the LORD all His creatures
We sing and dance with joy!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen and Amen!


Evening

Reading : read these particular words again from ROMANS 12 verse 11
Reflect slowly on the verse and then Pray in response to Father God

O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Harvest Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on towards tomorrow
Restore
Renew
We ask
In Jesus’ name, Amen
