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

Naming others known to you early in their journey of faith

In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

Dear LORD God,
As we witness the trials and the groaning of your beautiful creation,
which in large part we have caused, we ask You humbly
to grant us Your wisdom to try to put right all that we have done to foul it up.
We also ask You to bring about that new Kingdom with a
New Heaven and Earth to the end that we can see how Great is Our God!
We ask this of You, Mighty God, so that we may look forward to Your closer presence, through the blessings of Jesus our Saviour,
and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from REVELATION 7 verses 9-17
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our Great Saviour,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.

Saturday Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this weekend….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from REVELATION chapter 5– as we consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Saturday – to us and to others – including Messy in the Park at Liberton Northfield

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
