Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 23 verse 2

Meditation : take time to consider these words this morning.
Green pastures and quiet waters.

Take time to enjoy God’s green pastures and quiet waters.

In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own 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 this verse again from PSALM 23
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Praise Him in your evening Prayer

LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are!
For all you have done for us!
Thank you for green pastures and quiet waters
Even today
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
