Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 119 verse 97
Meditation : take time to consider this one verse on this Sunday.
What encourages and challenges you?
What is your response to God’s written Word this morning?
And then pray in response on this Sunday morning
In Jesus’ Name, Amen we say together.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own Midday Prayer
In Joshua we see Israel in the wilderness and the lesson that fullness of your will in us is through Jesus and not the law.
Lord, just as your people Israel experienced swollen rivers and walled cities, so do we today with viruses and sickness, people lost in darkness, man’s inhumanity to man, poverty and hardship close to home. Equip us in your strength to overcome. Bring us into your fullness; deliverance, healing and abundant living; and plant in us the fruit of your Spirit. Help us face the future with courage and keep us fixed on your Word.
Lord, your people had to wait faithfully and patiently to enter the promised land; they suffered loss when Moses, their leader, was taken from them but you met them in their loss and provided for them a new leader to take them through.
When we become impatient in waiting for you to act we need to remember that you operate on a whole different level to our understanding. Please help us to trust and feel your presence with us as we wait on you.
Thank you for your promise that you will never leave us alone.
Amen
Evening
Reading : read these words again from PSALM 119
Reflect on the truths written here and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Rock, our Maker, the Great King,
We bring our Sunday evening sacrifice of praise to you.
As we return our thanks to you
As we acknowledge You our Saviour and Help even this day.
As we pray for all corners of our world
To know of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
