Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : LUKE chapter 9 vs 51-62

Meditation : take time and consider all that happens here!
What images or words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?
What is your response to this Jesus?

Pray to this God of ours in response
Including for others on a journey following Jesus
Which costs them in their family or work situation

O Living LORD,
I read these words.
Help me let the Holy Spirit work out these truths
Even today.
May you guide and bless others in trying times
At this time in their lives
Amen – we pray together.

Reflect on the words and events here and pray in response to the Lord
Living Lord, hear our evening prayers and receive our praise
As we journey onwards following you
Even at the cost of others in our lives

What do Jesus’ words mean for you today?

And then pray in response – as your day starts

O Jesus,
Who spoke these words,
Help me to follow you more closely
And seek the Kingdom of God
Above all else
Even today.
Amen.
