Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Son of God

Reading : EPHESIANS 6 verses 10-20

Meditation : As we pause with Jesus this morning…
We slow down and take time to consider these words from Paul
What is God teaching/reminding you here?

R-ejoice in who Jesus is
A-sk to be more like Him – even today
Y-ield to follow Him closer today

Amen we pray together this new day.

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

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
