Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

What is God teaching/reminding you today?

Immanuel
God with us

O LORD our God
These are our morning prayers
As we journey further into Advent
in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

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

Evening
Reading : read the set verses again from MATTHEW 1

and Pray in response to this God of ours with confidence

O LORD God, hear our evening prayers
As we thank You for Your help in our lives.

On others
In our families
In our world
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
