Daily Devotions for Sunday 17th February, 2019

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : PSALM 23

Meditation : take time to consider these familiar words this morning
(Possibly in another version of the Bible?)
What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching you today from this psalm?

And then pray in response, to Jesus, our Good Shepherd
thanking Him
trusting Him
following Him into the day ahead

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray for your church family to know God’s Sunday blessings
O LORD, our God, hear our cry and pour out Your blessing!

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Psalm 23
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, hear our prayers we ask.
As we return our thanks to you
As we acknowledge You our Shepherd
As we pray for all corners of our world
To know of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #toJesus

In our land and across our world during the 10 days leading to Pentecost 2017 and 2018 believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are encouraged to pray for others to come to Jesus – to meet with Him – to become His disciples, living for Him – seeking His Father’s will to be done.

Please take a few minutes to pray for others known to you.
Please pause and pray for families to come to faith at Liberton.
Please pray for prodigals to return to Jesus.

O Lord, hear our prayers and show amazing grace we ask.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
