Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW 9 verses 18-34
Meditation : take time to consider these verses and events this morning.
Jesus.
The daughter of an official.
The woman who touched.
Two blind men.
Jesus.
Whose story stays with you?
What is your picture of Jesus like now?
And then Pray in response
For yourself
For others
O LORD
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you rule.
Hear my morning prayer
Hear the morning prayers of your people
As we bow before You
As we ask of You
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Dear Lord,
Matthew teaches us that You care intensely about people.
Most notably those who are on the margin of society; the aged, the blind,
The infirm, the psychotic, and even those
whom we would naturally distrust.
Give us encouragement and grace to follow Your example,
that we may show Your Glory in our lives.
Amen
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW 9 verses 18-34
Reflect on these events as you look back over the day and then Pray in response
LORD
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you rule.
Hear my evening prayer
Hear the evening prayers of your people
As we bow before You
As we ask of You
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
