Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : 1 SAMUEL chapter 8
Meditation : take the time to consider this passage today.
God’s people ask for a king.
Samuel.
What words or images stay with you?
What is God saying to you this morning about Himself?
What is your response to God’s Word today?
Pray in response – to our God , the God who is with us
Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need – for yourself and others
For God’s people – the Church.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessings on members of the Royal Family.
O LORD, have mercy on each and all and give saving grace we ask
Evening
Reading : read the passage again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to God in response
LORD God, the LORD Almighty, hear my prayer this evening.
As I thank you for the blessings of this day
As I call out to you for others
As I lay myself and this world before you
Confessing the failures of your people
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
