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

Reading : PSALM 91
Meditation : take time and consider this psalm this particular Sunday morning.
God our Protector.

What words stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you?

Then Pray with your own words in response to the LORD our God
Looking again at verses 14-16.
Naming others in need of God’s protection at this time.

In Jesus’ name, Amen

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Bible Society in Liberia
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 91
Reflect on what you read and then give praise to our God in response

Praise the LORD!

The LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he honours the humble with victory.
Let God’s people rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.

And so to you, O God, we bring our evening words of prayer
As we name others in need of your protection at this time
In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this week….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from PSALM 71 – as we consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

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

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Ukraine and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

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