Daily Devotions for April 8th, 2020

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : JOHN 12 verses 20-36

Meditation : consider these particular words this morning.
Jesus predicts his death
What words and images stay with you?
What is God saying to you today as your day starts?
Is there a response God is asking of you?

And then pray in response – to this Jesus
Looking again at verse 27 as you turn to prayer

O LORD our God,
Help us understand these words
Teach us how to follow Jesus
Closer and closer
Even today
In Jesus’ name,
Amen and amen!

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Liberton Northfield Church family
LORD, hear our prayers and bless them real good we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these set verses again from John 12
Humbly reflect on what you read and then pray in response – for yourself and
for others who follow Jesus at this time

LORD God, Father God, hear our many different prayers.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reading : JOHN 12 verses 12-19

Meditation : consider all that happens here!

on my journey through life.
In Jesus’ name.

As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time out Tuesday in Holy Week

This is indeed an unusual Holy Week.

Yet our God is Loving, Faithful and only a prayer away!

As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM.
However in these times it is not possible to open and run this space sadly.

But…our Tuesdays can still be an opportunity for time out…

You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are encouraged to speak with Him…to listen to Him…to receive from Him…

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm.
We are also encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer with others in our city at 5pm.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this Holy Week together.

Weekend – 4-5 April ii
