Daily Devotions for Friday 17th December, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : MATTHEW 2 verses 1-12

Meditation : take time to consider these familiar verses this morning.
What are you encouraged and challenged by today?
What words stay with you?

Then take time to Pray to this God of ours

In Jesus’ name.
Amen and Amen – we pray together.

Midday
Pray with thanksgiving for all NHS staff in our city
Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy and pour out blessings we ask

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW 2
Reflect on the way God has blessed you in your life
and pray in response to Him
and for others known to you in need at this time

LORD God, the God of help and protection,
Our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we return our sacrifice of praise for who you are
And your help even this day
As we bring ourselves to you at the end of this day.
As we name others before You.
Amen.
