Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Three in One
Reading : PHILIPPIANS 1 verses 3-11
Meditation : consider all that is said here as your day starts.
Paul’s prayer of thanksgiving.
What is your response to God’s written Word today?
Who are you thankful for?
Then turn to pray to God in response….looking again at verses 3 and 9-11
Pray with thanksgiving for others
Pray God’s blessing on others in your church family
O LORD our God,
Thank you for all these words
And all they teach me.
May we be a people
Who ever have an attitude of gratitude
And want others to grow in Christ
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the City Council in our city in these days
O LORD, have mercy and hear our prayers we ask this day.
Evening
Reading : read this passage again from PHILIPPIANS 1
Reflect on the words you have read and then pray in response – with thanksgiving
LORD God, our God, God of good gifts, hear the evening prayers of your people
For you have indeed poured out good gifts through Jesus
And we have much to be thankful for.
We pray you will bless richly those we name before you
In our family
In our street
In our church family
In our world
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
