Daily Devotions for Sunday 27th March, 2022

Fourth Sunday of Lent

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

Reading : ROMANS 1 verse 20

Meditation : take time and consider this verse this particular Sunday morning.
The God we believe and trust in.
What is your response to these words today?

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

O God of greatness
We bow before you
We believe in you
Help our unbelief
We trust in you
We offer you our songs of praise
This new day
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your 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 these particular words again from ROMANS 1 verse 20

Reflect on the words and images
And then Pray in response to this God
The God we believe and trust in

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