Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW 22 verses 1-14
Meditation : take time to consider these words as your day starts.
Parable of the Wedding Feast.
The Kingdom of Heaven.
What words stay with you today?
What is your response to God’s Word today?
Then Pause to Pray in response to the LORD our God
Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and thanksgiving
Of confession and trust
For others known to you
For our nation
For our world
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those grieving at this time
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW 22 verses 1-14 – in another version?
Reflect prayerfully on what you read and then pray to our God in response
Eternal and Faithful One, hear my evening prayer
As I lay myself and this world before you at the end of today
As I lift my eyes upward
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth
as it is in heaven
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
