Words of Eternal Life.
Simon Peter said….
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you about Himself today?
And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God
Looking again at verses 68 and 69
Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.
Amen we pray with praise together this new day!

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from JOHN 6 verses 60-71
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray with Praise in response to what you have read
This is our God! The God who gives eternal life!
Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : JOHN chapter 6 verses 25-59
Meditation : take time and consider all that is said here
The Bread of Life!
What images or words stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you?
Where are you feeding at this time?
And then Pray with words of hunger to this God of ours in response
Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them
and who depend on the LORD their God,
the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea,
and all that is in them.
He always keeps his promises;
He judges in favour of the oppressed

Create in us a deeper longer
A greater hunger
For Jesus
The Bread of Life
Amen – we pray together.
