Hebrews 12 verse 28
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 119 verse 116
Meditation : take time and consider this part of the Psalm this Sunday morning.
What do the words mean for you today?
What is God teaching you this morning?
And then pray in response – using the verse as you turn to prayer
O God of truth
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
In Jesus’ Name, 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 particular verse again from Psalm 119

O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on towards tomorrow
Lead us
Guide us
In Jesus’ name we ask, Amen.

As a Church we took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago now!
Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.
This week we focus on the theme of CELEBRATE as we pause to pray with others.
It may seem a strange thing to do at this time but we are invited to spend time with the LORD our God….bringing our prayers of celebration and praise to Him at this time. You may find it helpful to read PSALMS 146 and 149 as you turn to Prayer.
Bring to mind the good gifts God has given you this past week.
Celebrate His amazing grace and kindness and generosity.
Celebrate His acts of goodness to you and others.
Celebrate with the psalmist and the musicians and the dancers!
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 119 verse 114

What are you encouraged and challenged by?
And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Make these words your own
Amen we pray together this new day.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
O Great King of kings
Your kingdom come
We say
Your will be done
In our lives
In your Church
In this world
As it is in heaven
For yours is the eternal kingdom
All the power and heavenly glory
Now and forever
Amen!
Evening
Reading : read the verse again from Psalm 119
Reflect on the words here…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
LORD God, our God, hear our evening prayers.
As we worship you for who you are
As we thank you for your help this day
And name others in need before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
