Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : MATTHEW chapter 5 verse 7
Meditation : take time and consider this verse this particular Sunday morning.
The merciful.
What does it mean for you today?
What is God teaching/reminding you about His Kingdom ways?
Is there someone you can encourage today?
And then pray in response – using the verse as you turn to prayer
Come to Him with open arms. Receive His mercy and grace.
Naming others known to you who are merciful in their living
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday prayer
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 words again from MATTHEW chapter 5 verse 7
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God
I say to the LORD, “You are my God.”
Hear my cry for help, LORD!
My Sovereign LORD, my strong defender,
you have protected me in battle.
O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
As we name others seeking your mercy and grace
As we pilgrimage on into this new week
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
