Daily Devotions for Monday 5th December, 2022

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

Reading : EZEKIEL 37 verses 1-14

Meditation : take the time to consider this passage today.
The valley of Dry Bones.
The Breath of God.

What words or images stay with you?
What is God saying to you this morning about His ways?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Pray in response – to our God , the God who does new things

Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need – for yourself and others
This Advent time

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessings on those who work in local shops
O LORD, have mercy on this part of our community and give blessing we ask

Evening
Reading : read the set passage again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to God in response

LORD God, the LORD Almighty, hear my prayer this evening.
As I thank you for the blessings of this day
As I call out to you for others
As I lay myself and this world before you
Confessing my failures of this day
Seeking your Holy Breath afresh in my life
This Advent time
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
