El Olam. The Everlasting God.
What does it mean for you that God is Eternal?

O LORD our God,
El Olam.
Open our eyes
To who you are
Eternal
Everlasting
And forgive us
When we put you in a box.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those mourning at this time
LORD, hear our prayers and comfort them real good we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these set words again from GENESIS 21
Humbly reflect on what you read and then pray in response – for yourself and
for others you have met during this day

LORD God, Everlasting God, hear our many different prayers
As we praise you for who you are
As we name others we are concerned about at this time
As we look ahead to tomorrow
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Taking time with God Almighty
Invite the Holy Spirit to help you this day

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
Help me trust and believe in you
God Almighty
Even today
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of the day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verse again from the start of GENESIS 17
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
God Almighty
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your mighty name
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
