First Day in Lent
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Three in One
Reading : PSALM 17
Meditation : consider all that is said here as your day starts.
The Prayer of an Innocent Person.
How would you describe your relationship with God at this time?
What is your response to God’s written Word today?
Then turn to pray to God in response….looking again at verses 6-9
I pray to you, O God, because you answer me;
so turn to me and listen to my words.
Reveal your wonderful love and save me;
at your side I am safe from my enemies.
Protect me as you would your very eyes;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
from the attacks of the wicked.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the land and people of Tunisia in these days
O LORD, have mercy and hear our prayers we ask this day.
Evening
Reading : read this passage again from PSALM 17
Reflect on the words you have read and then pray in response – to this God, our God
Listen to my honest prayer.
You will judge in my favour,
because you know what is right.
You know my heart.
You have come to me at night;
you have examined me completely
and found no evil desire in me.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
