mourn

Daily Devotions for Friday 15th November, 2024

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : JOEL chapter 1
Meditation : take time and consider all that is said here
The people mourn
Crops destroyed

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.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those on our Church Prayer List
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them all real good we ask

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from JOEL chapter 1
Reflect on the words written here and pray in response to this great God

Honestly
Humbly

In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen

People will speak of your mighty deeds,
