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

Reading : LUKE 8 verses 40-56
Meditation : take the time to consider these particular words this Saturday morning.
A dead girl.
A sick woman.

What are you encouraged and challenged by from God’s written Word?
Which words stay with you as your day starts?

And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Naming others in need known to you at this time

Amen we pray together this new day.

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

Dear Jesus,
You proclaimed that You were the way, the way to a better life.
You came to show us how to help provide a better life for everyone worse off than ourselves. Lead us now, strengthening us to care for those who are vulnerable
and the strangers in our midst.
Amen

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from LUKE 8 verses 40-56
Reflect on the truths behind the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read

Examine me, O God, and know my mind;
test me, and discover my thoughts.
Find out if there is any evil in me
and guide me in the everlasting way

Naming others in need known to you at this time

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Saturday Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into Sunday….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LUKE chapter 5 verses 1-11 – as we consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Saturday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
