Upper Room day and Evening Gathering for Prayer

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

Reading : EXODUS chapter 24

Meditation : take time and consider these events this morning.
What words or images stay with you?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Pray in response to what you have read

O Lord
Speak to us
Speak to me
By name
And help me hear
What the Spirit is saying in these days
To me
To my family
To my Church
In Jesus’ wonderful name,
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask, seek, knock….hear!
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the set passage again
Reflect on the words and events…and those involved…. and then Pray….to the LORD our God
God of Covenant promise
We bring our evening worship to you
As we lay ourselves and our families before you
In Jesus’ name.
Amen and Amen.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : EXODUS chapter 20 verses 1-21

Meditation : take time to consider these familiar verses as your day starts.
Meditate over each verse again – prayerfully.

Then Pray and Praise in response to the LORD our God
The God of Exodus 20

(Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and thanksgiving
Of confession and trust
For understanding and obedience)

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the land and people of Vietnam
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Exodus 20
Reflect prayerfully on what you read and then praise and pray to this God in response
Eternal and Faithful One, hear my evening prayers
As I lay myself before you at the end of this day
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
