Upper Room day – and evening Gathering for Prayer

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

Reading : 2 CHRONICLES 20 verses 1-30

Meditation : consider this passage – the king in prayer.
What is God saying to you today from this passage?
What is your response to Him today?

Take time to Pray in response to the LORD our God
With honest humility

In Jesus’ Name
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
‘Thy Kingdom come’ Father God
LORD our God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the passage again from 2 CHRONICLES 20
Reflect on these words…. And then pray to our God in response

Father God, our gracious God, hear our evening prayers,
As we return our thanks to you.
And as we lift up our nation and our world in these days
O have mercy!
O give saving grace!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Pause to Pray with Others

On this particular Monday..as the nation journeys through this further stage of Lockdown.. you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
We are now pausing to pray at 6pm each day instead of 5pm as a result of the recent fresh Call to Prayer across the nation and the world at this time from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus

For family and friends and neighbours

For all teachers in our schools in our villages and towns and cities at this time

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making
