Daily Devotions for Tuesday 3rd January, 2023

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

Reading : MATTHEW chapter 4 verses 1-4

Meditation : take time and consider this chapter this morning.
Jesus is Tempted. In the desert.
Jesus overcomes the Devil.

What do the words mean to you at this time?
Is there a spiritual battle you are in at this time?
Is there someone you know who needs a word of encouragement?

Take time to Pray in response – including for others known to you in need at this time
Looking again at verse 4

We can but worship you this day O LORD
We can but ask for those in need or trouble this day O LORD
Help us in our trials and temptations
In Jesus’ name, Amen.


Midday

Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW chapter 4 verses 1-4
Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes

God of the desert times and the God of my day,
The God of strong love
The God of might and power
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we thank you for your help today
As we journey from today to tomorrow
As we name others we care about before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Tuesday Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this new week….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from LUKE chapter 2 verse 21– as we continue to consider the GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2022 – on this Tuesday after CHRISTmas Day

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Tuesday – 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
