The Kirk Session on Retreat
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : JEREMIAH 20 verses 7-18
Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
Jeremiah Complains to the LORD
What is God saying to you from His Word?
Do you have a prayer of complaint this morning?
And then Pray in response – looking again at verse 11
God is on your side!
O LORD Almighty
Hear my morning prayer
And have mercy
As I lay myself
And this day
Before you
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer
O God of Isaiah
Holy Holy Holy
Is your name
In our midst
O God of Ezekiel
Spirit at work
All around
In our lives
O God of Jonah
Forgive us
When we your people
Get it wrong
Have mercy
Show compassion
In Jesus’ name
Amen
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from JEREMIAH 20 at the end of your day
Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response
LORD God, our Almighty God, hear our prayers this evening
As we return our sacrifice of praise to You
And trust you for tomorrow
Have mercy on those we name before you
And on our world at this time
We ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
