Pause to Pray with Others

On this particular Tuesday..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 fresh Call to Prayer yesterday across the nation and the world from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture.

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

For family and friends

For all senior citizens 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

Time-Out Tuesday with God

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

Reading : 1 SAMUEL chapter 1

Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
Elkanah…Hannah…and Eli.
What is God saying to you from His Word today about Prayer?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Bringing your request to Father God

Father God,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today.
Hear my requests
I believe
Help my unbelief
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from 1 SAMUEL 1
Reflect prayerfully on these events…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
