Daily Devotions for Sunday 27th September, 2020

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

Reading : PSALM 101 verse 101

Meditation : take time and consider this one verse this particular Sunday morning.
What does it mean for you today?
What is God teaching you from His written Word?

And then pray in response

O God of greatness and of true goodness
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We seek to live for your glory
Even today.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

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

In Joshua we see Israel in the wilderness and the lesson that fullness of your will in us is through Jesus and not the law.
Lord, just as your people Israel experienced swollen rivers and walled cities, so do we today with viruses and sickness, people lost in darkness, man’s inhumanity to man, poverty and hardship close to home. Equip us in your strength to overcome. Bring us into your fullness; deliverance, healing and abundant living; and plant in us the fruit of your Spirit. Help us face the future with courage and keep us fixed on your Word.
Lord, your people had to wait faithfully and patiently to enter the promised land; they suffered loss when Moses, their leader, was taken from them but you met them in their loss and provided for them a new leader to take them through.
When we become impatient in waiting for you to act we need to remember that you operate on a whole different level to our understanding. Please help us to trust and feel your presence with us as we wait on you.
Thank you for your promise that you will never leave us alone.
Amen

Evening
Reading : read this particular verse again from PSALM 119
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God

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
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
