Reading : 1 KINGS 19 verses 1-18

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
Imagine the scenes and the people described here.
What are you encouraged and challenged by?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Take time to Pray in response

O God of power and grace,
As I read these words
Help me believe
And trust in You
In good times and in hard times.
May Your Holy Spirit work in and through me.
As You were doing through Elijah
As You are doing across the world.
Oh surprise us in these days we call out!
In Jesus’ name.
Amen – we pray together.

And as we name others before You.

In worship and thanks for what you have read,
In confession and need to be more like Jesus,
And for others known to you at this time in a hard place.)

As we step forward into this day
And all that it will bring
We ask in Jesus’ name.
