Daily Devotions for Monday 30th January, 2023

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

Reading : MATTHEW chapter 6 verses 25-34

Meditation : take time and consider this passage this particular Sunday morning.
Do not Worry.
But seek first…

What words stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you today?
What is your response?

Then Pray with honest and humble words in response to the LORD our God

Praise the LORD!
Sing a new song to the LORD;
praise him in the assembly of his faithful people!
Be glad, Israel, because of your Creator;
rejoice, people of Zion, because of your king!
Praise his name with dancing;
play drums and harps in praise of him.

O LORD our God
Teach us
Help us
Strengthen us
Guide us
Even this day
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Church in Scotland
O God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW chapter 6 verses 25-34

Reflect on what you read and then pray to our God in response

The LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he honours the humble with victory.
Let God’s people rejoice in their triumph
and sing joyfully all night long.

And so to you, O God, we bring our evening words of prayer
As we thank you for the blessings of this day
In Jesus’ name, Amen
