Daily Devotions for Sunday 23rd October, 2022

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

Reading : ROMANS 15 verses 14-17

Meditation : take time and consider this part of the chapter this particular Sunday morning.
Paul’s reason for writing.
What words stay with you?
Is there someone you need to contact at this time?

And then pray in response – naming others before God

O God
Guide and guard our words this 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 ROMANS 15 verses 14-17
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
Guard and guide our words
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 ROMANS chapter 15 verse 13– as we continue to consider the GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2022

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

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

Thy Kingdom Come – at Midday – with the Cheeky Pandas

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture earlier this year – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world!

Each Sunday at Midday we have been re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we again revisit one of the videos that was released for younger viewers….. Series 2 with the Cheeky Pandas – The Silent Disco – a story looking at the theme of SILENCE.
