Morning

Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : 1 Peter 2 verses 4-12
Meditation : take time to slowly consider these great verses….and what they mean to you today.
Is Jesus your Living Stone in life? Have you claimed all that verses 9+10 offer?
Are you putting verses 11+12 into practice?

– and then pray in response, as God leads you, for yourself and for others in Christ
O LORD our God,
Receive our praise!
You have done so much in Christ Jesus!
Move among us and our sinful world we ask
With Your grace and justice, mercy and forgiving love
And may we be careful
To give You all the praise and glory
As we see Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,
Lives changed – even ours!
Amen and amen!
