Daily Devotions for Saturday 22nd October, 2022

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

Reading : ROMANS 15 verse 13

Meditation : take the time to consider these great words this Saturday morning.
God of Hope.
Joy and Peace.
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you about Himself today?

And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God
Make these words your own

Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.

Amen we pray with praise together this new day!

Midday

O God of love and saving grace
Thank you for all you are doing in us

O God of help and wondrous grace
Equip us to serve you in this world
For Christ Jesus

For yours is due all the glory and honour
Praises and worship
Because of Christ Jesus

Amen and Amen

Evening
Reading : read the words again from ROMANS 15 verse 13
Reflect on this one verse…. and then Pray with Praise in response to what you have read
This is our God!

Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
