As we move onward from Thy Kingdom Come 2023….so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit the daily themes – including the Cheeky Pandas in a few weeks for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here was the Day 10 post for us to ponder afresh….God who Empowers
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 19
Meditation : take time to consider these words on this Sunday.
The heavens declare!
What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you this morning?
And then pray in response,
Naming others known to you in our world
Looking again at verse 14
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 words again from PSALM 19
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Great Creator,
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.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 18
Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
David’s psalm of testimony in trusting God.
What encourages and challenges you today?
What is God saying to you from His Word?
And then Pray in response
For yourself
For others
LORD
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you rule.
Hear my morning prayer
Hear the morning prayers of your people
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own Midday Prayer
These are Psalms of encouragement to read during the holiday month.
Why not read one a week.
Psalm 33; Psalm 37vs 1-17; Psalm 85; Psalm 96
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 18
Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response
LORD
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you rule.
Hear my evening prayer
Hear the evening prayers of your people
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Thank you Church of Scotland for this image
