Second Sunday of Advent
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit, on this Sunday
Reading : MATTHEW 1 verses 1-17
Meditation : take time to consider these words about God’s careful family planning! What is God saying to you today from his Word?
Look again at verse 16.
Pray in response to their God, our God
Considering all that God has planned for you – and others – even recently
O LORD God,
Thank you
Thank you
For all your careful planning over the years
And months and weeks
And recent days.
In Jesus’ name .
Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on another church family in our city
O LORD God, hear our prayers and pour a blessing we call out
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Evening
Reading : read these opening verses again from Matthew
Reflect on the truths beyond the words and then Pray to their God, our God
O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear our evening prayers
As we return our thanks to you for the blessings of this day
And all your hand has planned for the days ahead.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
