Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : LUKE 2 verses 1-7
Meditation : take the time to consider this passage today as you journey into this new week
Jesus is born in Bethlehem.
What words or images stay with you?
Whose birth did you last celebrate?
Pray in response – to our God , the God who is with us
Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship – for Jesus
Of confession and trust – to Jesus
Of need – for yourself and others
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessings on the Church Family at Gracemount Church
O LORD, have mercy on each and all and give blessings we ask
Evening
Reading : read the passage again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to God in response
LORD God, the LORD Almighty, hear my prayer this evening.
As I thank you for the blessings of this day
As I call out to you for others
As I lay myself and this world before you
Confessing my failures of this day
Trusting you for tomorrow
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
