Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : AMOS 7 verses 1-9

Meditation : take time and consider what is said here – as your day starts.
Locusts, fire and a plumbline!!
How would you describe Israel’s relationship with the LORD God?
How would you describe your relationship with Him today?

And then pray in response as your day starts

(Pray your own words to the LORD God
In worship and thanks for what you have read,
In confession and need to be more like Jesus,
And for others known to you at this time in a hard place.)

O LORD of justice and mercy,
Receive our morning praise and hear our prayers.
We ask in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

O LORD, hear our prayers and pour out a blessing we ask on each and all

Oh have mercy we ask
On others
On our Church
On our world
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
