A Song for Saturday – When we Walk with the Lord

Daily Devotions for Saturday 25th September, 2021

Walk of Life – John 9.25

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Son of God

Reading : PHILIPPIANS 2 verses 1-11

Meditation : As we pause with Jesus this morning…
We slow down and take time to consider these words about Him.

And then take time to Pray in response to Christ, Saviour and Lord
Confessing. Receiving. Asking.

P-ause as we consider our Servant King
R-ejoice in who Jesus is
A-sk to be more like Him – even today
Y-ield to follow Him closer today

Amen we pray together this new day.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer

Be still and know

Be still my restless mind

Be still with God

Be still in this world

Be still in my life

Be still and trust God

In Jesus’ name
Amen

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from PHILIPPIANS 2
Reflect on the words…. and then Pause to Pray in response to what you have read

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
