Reading : JAMES chapter 4 verses 1-12

What do they mean for you in your life at this time?

And then Pray in response – as God leads you
Looking again at verses 6-8

Amen – we pray together.

Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy and bless them real good we ask.

Reflect on the words you have just read and pray in response
Lord Jesus, hear our evening prayers as we respond to these words
And bring a blessing to those in need of your grace at this time we ask.
Amen.

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Meditation : take time and carefully consider these words.
Taming the tongue.
What is God saying to you today from His Word?

(Pray your own words this morning to the LORD our God……..)

In Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen.

As we return our thanks to You.
As we humbly confess our sins
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What words and images stay with you about showing favouritism?

Looking again at verses 12 and 13 as you turn to prayer

O LORD our God,
These are our morning prayers
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

for others you have met during this day
LORD God, Father God, hear our many different prayers.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
