Daily Devotions for Saturday 10th October, 2020

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

Reading : PSALM 119 verse 105

Meditation : take time to consider this particular verse this morning.
What do the words mean for you in your life?
What is God saying to you today?

And then Pray in response to what you read

Thank you, O LORD our God
For your living written guiding Word.
May it lead me and help me this day.
May others find you through it.
May it lift the name of Jesus higher.
In Jesus’ name we ask together.
Amen and Amen!

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

O Great King of kings
Your kingdom come
We say
Your will be done
In our lives
In your Church
In this world
As it is in heaven
For yours is the eternal kingdom
All the power and heavenly glory
Now and forever
Amen!

Evening
Reading : read this verse again from Psalm 119

Reflect on this God, the God who speaks with us…. and then Pray to Him

LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are!
For all you have done for us!
And as we give it all back to you
May you continue to reach and save people
Through your Word
Even this evening.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As a Church we took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago now!

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of PRAY FOR as we pause to pray with others.

We are invited to spend time with the LORD our Father God….bringing our prayers for others to Him

In these days our prayer list for those we love, those we are concerned about, those in our community and city and nation and world will probably be a lengthy one.

Take time out with God

Name others before Him

Ask
Seek
Knock

Pray for others

Thy Kingdom Come #offer

As a Church we took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago!

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of OFFER as we pause to pray with others.

We are invited to spend time with the LORD our Father God….offering to Him all that we are and all that we have….for His Kingdom purposes

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,

Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,

Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,

Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,

Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

(words by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836-1879)
