Daily Devotions for Wednesday 25th August, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God

Reading : PSALM 143

Meditation : take time to consider what these verses teach us
about the psalmist’s relationship with God in this Prayer for Help.
What are you challenged and encouraged by this morning?

Then take the time to Pray to this God, our God who helps.
Look again at verses 9-11 as you turn to prayer

I go to you for protection, LORD;
rescue me from my enemies.
You are my God;
teach me to do your will.
Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.
Rescue me, LORD, as you have promised;
in your goodness save me from my troubles!

In Jesus’ Name
Amen!

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Estonian Bible Society
O LORD God, have mercy on this work and hear our prayers this day we ask.

Evening

Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 143
Reflect on the words…. And then pray to the LORD our God

I go to you for protection, LORD;
rescue me from my enemies.
You are my God;
teach me to do your will.
Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.
Rescue me, LORD, as you have promised;
in your goodness save me from my troubles!

Hear our evening prayers, O God, as this day ends.
We believe and trust in You and lay ourselves before You.
