Thy Kingdom Come – at Midday

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world!
Thy Kingdom Come 2022 prayer venture will be running 26 May – 5 June.

Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the first theme of JESUS and pointing others to Him.

Daily Devotions for Sunday 3rd April, 2022

5th Sunday of Lent

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : ROMANS 2 verse 2

Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
God’s Judgment
What is your response to this verse today?

And then pray in response to the LORD our God
Pray your own Sunday morning prayer

O LORD our God,
Hear our prayers
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

When I survey the wondrous cross
Praise the name of Jesus!

For God so loved the world
How deep the Father’s love!

There is a Redeemer, God’s own Son
Thank you, O my Father!

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God

When I stand in glory
I will see his face,
And there I’ll serve my King for ever
In that holy place.

Amen and Amen!

Evening
Reading : read these words again from ROMANS 2 verse 2
Reflect on what is said here in this particular verse
and then Pray in response to this God we believe in

O LORD, our Just God,
Hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
