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

Reading : JOHN chapter 6 verses 35-40
Meditation : take time and consider this part of the chapter again this Sunday morning.
“I am the Bread of Life”

What do these words mean for you today?
Where are you feeding in your life?

And then pray in response – using the words of verse 40 as you turn to prayer

O God of grace-giving-Life
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We offer you our songs of praise
This new day
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from JOHN 6 verses 35-40
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God
Looking again at verse 37

O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on towards tomorrow
With hope and confidence in You above all others
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for Saturday 23rd September, 2023

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

Reading : JOHN chapter 6 verses 60-71

Meditation : take the time to consider these words and events this Saturday morning.
Words of Eternal Life.
Simon Peter said….

Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you about Himself today?

And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God
Looking again at verses 68 and 69

Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.

Amen we pray with praise together this new day!

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

Father God
Thank you for sending Jesus
Son of God
Son of Man
From heaven to earth

Holy Spirit
Show us
Teach us
Help us
To follow Him
To love Him
To serve Him
More and more

In this world
We ask in Jesus’ name
Amen

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from JOHN 6 verses 60-71
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray with Praise in response to what you have read
This is our God! The God who gives eternal life!

Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
