A prayer from the TKC morning and evening prayer guide….

Almighty God,
your ascended Son has sent us into the world
to preach the good news of your kingdom:
inspire us with your Spirit
and fill our hearts with the fire of your love,
that all who hear your Word
may be drawn to you,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Daily Devotions for Thursday 14th May, 2020

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

Reading : PHILIPPIANS 4 verses 6 and 7

Meditation : take time and consider what is said here by Paul – as your day starts.
What is God teaching you today?
What words will you hold onto as you journey into your day?

And then pray in response as your day starts

(Pray your own words to the LORD God
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.)

We believe and trust in You, O God.
We receive from You.
We ask together in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those who work in the Scottish Parliament in these days
O LORD, hear our prayers and pour out a blessing we ask on each and all

Evening
Reading : read the 2 verses again from PHILIPPIANS 4
Reflect on these words again at the end of your day
and Pray in response to this God of ours

O LORD God, hear our evening prayers as we thank You for Your call on our lives.
O have mercy we ask
On others
On our Church
On our world
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
