As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the sixth theme of PRAY FORas we pause with God and watch and listen to a short reflection….
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : ISAIAH 28 verses 14-29
Meditation : take time and consider this passage this Sunday morning.
A Cornerstone.
What does it mean for you today?
What is God teaching/reminding you about Himself?
And then pray in response – noting verses 16 and 29 as you turn to prayer
God of salvation and wisdom
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
Lead and guide us
Through this day
We ask
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 particular verses again from ISAIAH 28 verses 14-29
