When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
Psalm 56 verses 3 and 4
Do you follow our Sunday morning reflection on the Bible Verse for the Week?
It is found on our YouTube channel…and our Facebook page……..8am each Sunday morning.
This morning’s reflection comes from our friend Mike Parker.
As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture earlier last year – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world and the ThyKingdomCome prayer venture runs 18-28 May this year.
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the video that was released for younger viewers…..on the theme of THANKS
Palm Sunday
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 56
Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning in Lent.
Be merciful to me O God.
My enemies.
What encourages and challenges you today?
What words stay with you?
And then pray in response to the LORD our God
Pray your own prayer as you step into today.
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 PSALM 56
Reflect on all that is said here in this particular passage and then Pray in response to this God
O LORD, our Great God,
Hear our evening prayers of praise we ask
As we thank you for what we read
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.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 53
Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning in Lent.
The fool says….
When God restores….
And then Pray in response to what you read – to this God of ours.
Pray for God’s help today for yourself and for another
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Dear Lord,
After Your humiliation, You walked steadfastly on
to a certain painful and brutal death.
You were afraid for You sweated blood with anguish,
but You still went on so that all those of us who truly believe
may rise to be with You at the end of our mortal journey.
We praise You and joyously give thanks to You for Your steadfastness.
Amen.
Evening
Reading : read PSALM 53 again
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer
LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are
For your help and protection even today
And as we give it all back to you
May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
