FUMCFW Prayer Ministries offers many ways to get connected with our praying community. Recognizing that every person has unique gifts and callings, many of which emerge out of times of struggle and pain, we are here to encourage individual spiritual formation and disciplines that can become powerful influences on all aspects of the life-long faith journey.
We use The Upper Room® Daily Devotional Guide as our FUMCFW Daily Devotional. The Upper Room is a well-recognized resource and model of practical Christianity, accessible in varied formats to help people feel invited and welcomed into God’s presence each day.
Access to The Upper Room can be found below; however, you will need to subscribe directly through The Upper Room in order to receive your daily devotional in your email inbox. If you have questions or need assistance with your subscription, please let us know!
Our Daily Bread Devotionals are written by FUMCFW pastors and include messages of instruction and inspiration. We invite you to take a few moments to read and reflect upon today’s scripture selection and to carry these thoughts with you into your day.
Surprised Peter and John because the lame man asks them, intending to receive something from them. Peter even seems to say to him,” What did you see in us?
I don’t know if the lame man knew who Peter and John were, but he asked them for alms to meet his immediate needs.
This is a man in great need. According to the story, he was born lame, and now, as an adult, he depends on charity from other people to survive.
We just had this Holy Week, and “Come and Go Prayer,” on Good Friday from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm consisted of prayer and personal meditation.
When you are part of a worthwhile group that helps you to be a better person, you have very pleasant moments with others; the sessions are dynamic and rich in content, the attendees leave speaking well of the group, and so on.
The disciples no longer have the immediate presence of Jesus, but they have each other.
Jesus is giving his disciples his last teachings, telling them to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit and not to leave Jerusalem until this happens, for when he comes, he will give them the power to become witnesses of Jesus’ redemptive work.
The disciples are eager to know what is next; they begin to guess if the amazing events they have witnessed mean that the kingdom of Israel will be restored.
What’s next? I had my personal experience with Jesus as my Lord and Savior; now, I am a member of the Church, and I want to know more about this new beginning in my faith. How can I grow and know more?
Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the other women at the tomb.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
