Devotions for week of Oct. 25

Posted on Sun, Oct 25, 2015:

Begin by reading the invocation. Read the assigned Psalm for the week once or twice and take a few moments to center yourself on God, relaxing and paying close attention to your breathing. Pray for yourself and others, allowing time for God to place others in your thoughts. Read the day's assigned Scripture slowly and reflectively, perhaps more than once, taking time to allow thoughts and images to form in your mind. Reflect on the Scripture, perhaps writing in your journal. Close with the benediction.

Invocation: Lord Jesus, I come to this place with ears tuned to your voice alone. How much I need you, how good to hear you speak my name. Come to me, my Lord, and tell me of your love -- even as I long to tell you of my own. Amen.

Psalm: Psalm 139

Daily Scripture Readings:

Sunday: Mark 10: 46-52

Monday: Luke 7: 36-50

Tuesday: Mark 5: 1-20

Wednesday: Matthew 9: 1-12

Thursday: Acts 9: 10-18

Friday: Luke 6: 27-36

Saturday: John  9: 1-12, 35-41

Benediction: How good it is, Lord, how b lessed to be with you in this quiet place of prayer. Here your words are clear and my desires unconfused. Come with me from this humble oratory, Lord Jesus, and walk with me all the day through. Amen.
