Morning

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

Reading : 1 Peter 2 verses 16 and 17

Meditation : take time and consider these words from Peter.
What was he saying to his readers?
What is God saying to you today?

Pray in response…to what you have read

Spirit of God
Fall anew on me
Fill me with God’s wondrous love
And guide my daily steps
At work, rest and play
This day I pray
As this month begins
in Jesus’ Name.
Amen

Midday

Pray for the Spirit of God to bring Kingdom blessings to Scotland
God of grace and mercy…and hope, hear our prayers.

Father God, hear my evening prayer.

#Help

As part of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture, today’s prayer theme is #Help

We bring our prayers today – naming before God our heavenly Father those known to us in need of help and those unknown to us in our community and our city.

As we pray….. may God hear our prayers and bring His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
