Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : LUKE 2 verses 1-7
Meditation : take time and consider these words this particular Sunday morning.
The birth of Jesus.
Joseph. Bethlehem.
And then pray in response – giving thanks for JESUS!
O God of greatness and grace
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We offer you our songs of praise
This special day
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer on this special Day
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from LUKE 2 verses 1-7
Reflect on the words and images on this CHRISTmas evening
and then Pray in response to the God who sent Jesus, our Saviour God
Praise him, kings and all peoples,
princes and all other rulers;
young women and young men,
old people and children too.
Let them all praise the name of the LORD!
His name is greater than all others;
his glory is above earth and heaven
O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Christmas Day
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on in this season
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
