Pause to Pray for Others

On this particular Sunday…as the nation and the world wrestles with the new variant and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern… you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time

For family and friends and neighbours

For the Church in our world to be salt and light at this time

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time

Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world!

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the youth videos.
This week it is PENTECOSE/THY KINGDOM COME – as we are encouraged to pray for the Kingdom of God to be evident on earth as it is in heaven.

Daily Devotions for Sunday 9th January, 2022

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : ROMANS chapter 9

Meditation : take time and consider these particular words this Sunday morning.
God’s choice of Israel.
God’s Anger and Mercy.
What is God teaching/reminding you?
What encourages and challenges you today?

And then pray in response to the LORD our God
Pray your own honest prayer this morning

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from ROMANS chapter 9
Reflect on all that is said here in this particular passage
and then Pray in response to this God we believe and trust in

O LORD, our Great God,
Hear our evening prayers of praise we ask
As we thank you for your grace and mercy
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
