As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on into this new week
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : ROMANS 14 verses 13-23

Meditation : take the time to consider these verses this Saturday morning.
So then, let us stop judging….
What are you encouraged and challenged by from God’s written Word?
Which words stay with you as your day starts?

Pray with honest humility
Pray for others
Pray for those struggling to love others

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
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 the verses again from ROMANS 14 verses 13-23

Find out if there is any evil in me
and guide me in the everlasting way

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
