As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last year around the world…and in preparation for May later this year… we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #Sorry
Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able this weekend – with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and spend time in prayer with Him – bringing Him your prayers of confession – and receiving His forgiveness this Easter through Christ Jesus.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : HEBREWS 10 verses 15-18
Meditation : slowly consider these words today.
What is God saying to you?
What is your response to Him?
and Pray in response to this God of forgiveness
O God of forgiveness,
Of new life
And amazing grace,
Thank you for all you offer
In Christ Jesus
Through the Holy Spirit
Today and every day.
Oh work afresh within us
We call out!
Amen we pray together.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on members of your family
LORD, hear our prayers we ask and bless them all we ask.
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Hebrews 10
Reflect on the words and then Pray in response
As Easter Sunday approaches!
LORD God, our God, hear our prayers at the end of this day
As we return our thanks to you
As we look ahead to the joy of Resurrection Morning!
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from JESUS on this GOOD FRIDAY
Reading : HEBREWS 10 verses 8-14
Meditation : take time and consider these words on this particular morning.
What do they say to you about Jesus’ death?
What is your response to what God is saying here?
Take time to Pray in response to what you read on this Good Friday
O God of truth,
On this day
I read
Help me believe
And trust in You.
Amen – we pray together.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those seeking Jesus in our city on this day
Father God, hear our prayers and draw them unto you we ask
Evening
Reading : read these set verses again
Reflect on this God who was at work in and through Jesus and pray in response to Him
Lord Jesus, Servant King, hear our evening prayers
As we bring our sacrifice of praise
On this day
For all that You have done and won for us.
But thanks be to God! For in union with Christ we are always led by God as prisoners in Christ’s victory procession. God uses us to make the knowledge about Christ spread everywhere like a sweet fragrance.
For we are like a sweet-smelling incense offered by Christ to God, which spreads among those who are being saved and those who are being lost. For those who are being lost, it is a deadly stench that kills; but for those who are being saved, it is a fragrance that brings life.
Who, then, is capable of such a task? We are not like so many others, who handle God’s message as if it were cheap merchandise; but because God has sent us, we speak with sincerity in his presence, as servants of Christ.
