Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : JONAH chapter 4

Meditation : take time and consider this part of the Jonah story this morning.
God’s compassion. Jonah’s anger.
What does it mean for you today?

And then pray in response – as your day starts
including for others recently blessed by God

(Pray your own words to the LORD God.)

O LORD,
God of compassion,
Have mercy we ask and hear our prayers
For others
For family
For neighbours and colleagues
For ourselves
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Church in France
Father God…hear our prayers and bless them each and all we ask.

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from Jonah
Reflect on the verses and events at the end of your day
and Pray in response to God – our God of compassion
O LORD, hear our evening prayers
As we return our thanks to you
For those you have shown compassion to
Even today
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Three in One

Reading : JONAH chapter 3

Meditation : prayerfully consider these events as you imagine all that happens.
What words stays with you?
Where has God taken you recently?

Then pray in response to this God of ours

O LORD our God,
Thank you
For your guiding Spirit
Even today.
Thank you
For all your daily provisions to us
Even today.
In Jesus’ name
Amen and amen!

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the land and people of France
O LORD, hear our prayers and bless them real good we ask.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from Jonah 3
Reflect on the words you read and then pray in response
LORD God, merciful God, our God, hear our evening prayers
As we thank you for all you have provided this day
As we thank you for your guiding hand this day
In Jesus’ name, Amen
