As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture last year in the 11 day run up to Pentecost – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world throughout the year!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the daily themes….and this time we revisit the Youth videos and the theme of PRAISEas we watch and listen on this first Sunday in February 2023….
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : MATTHEW 7 verses 24-27
Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
Two House Builders.
Wise.
Foolish.
What words stay with you?
What encourages and challenges you today?
And then pray in response to the LORD our God
Pray your own prayer
For yourself
For another
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your 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 these verses again from MATTHEW 7 verses 24-27
Reflect on all that is said here by Jesus in this particular passage
and then Pray in response to this God
O LORD, our God,
Hear our evening prayers of praise 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.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW 7 verses 21-23
Meditation : take time to carefully consider these words this morning.
The Kingdom of Heaven
“Get away from me!”
And then Pray in response to what you read – to this God of ours.
Humbly
Honestly
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Dear Lord,
Matthew teaches us that You care intensely about people.
Most notably those who are on the margin of society; the aged, the blind,
The infirm, the psychotic, and even those
whom we would naturally distrust.
Give us encouragement and grace to follow Your example,
that we may show Your Glory in our lives.
Amen
Evening
Reading : read MATTHEW 7 verses 21-23 again
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer
LORD God, our God,
Hear the honest and humble evening prayers of your people
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
