As we continue to move onward from Thy Kingdom Come 2024 ……so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting the daily themes – including the Cheeky Pandas and Youth Videos for the younger members of our Church Family!
Today we are are encouraged to keep on praying – for our 5 friends – to meet with Jesus and experience the Kingdom of God in their lives! May the story of CHRISTmas reach their ears and minds and lives….
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : JOHN 1 verses 1-18
We take time to consider afresh these words about the Word of Life
Which words stay with you?
And then pray to this God in response
Naming others known to you seeking the Word of Life
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Jesus
Name above all names
We bow before You
Jesus
Word of Life
Come to us
Jesus
Son of God
Live with us
Jesus
Saviour and Lord
Save us
Amen and Amen!
Evening
Reading : read these words again from JOHN 1 verses 1-18
Reflect on these words and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Great Hope,
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 live and speak of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
As we step into Sunday….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from MATTHEW 3 verses 13-17– as we journey in this season of Advent….
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
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 Syria, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, Russia, Yemen and other parts of our world in deep need at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW 3 verses 13-17
Meditation : take time and consider all that happens here.
The Baptism of Jesus
And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Praying for those deciding to publicly confess Jesus as their Lord
O LORD our God
Hear our cries this morning
Amen we pray together this new day.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own 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
