Questions for your devotional reading. What encouragement is given? How does this relate to my life? What place does encouragement have in the Church? How does scripture speak to the needs I see? What does the scripture say about my worship, my prayer and my praise? What commands are given? What promises are given? What warnings are issued? What is the Holy Spirit teaching me? How can I apply this to my daily living? How do I respond to sin when I see it? How will this affect my life and work in the church? |
Prayer focus Picture yourself sitting at the feet of Jesus. Praise God for all the blessings you have in your life. Ask God to show you what you should do according to God’s will for you. Take time to listen. Lift up those who have physical and spiritual needs. Ask God to fill them with the Holy Spirit. Repent and confess your sin. Ask the Lord to forgive you. Forgive those who have harmed you. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and direct your path today. Pray for your pastor and all leaders in the church and for all pastors and congregations in Page County. Pray for laborers for the harvest. Ask God to help you be more loving. |
