You are invited to pause and pray with others in our Church Family as your day closes
You may want to revisit the Daily Devotions for today….PSALM 18….David’s song of testimony
You may need to name others before Father God
You may want to be still in God’s presence…and receive from Him
On this particular Sunday..as the nation journeys through this further stage of Lockdown.. you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
We are now pausing to pray at 6pm each day instead of 5pm as a result of the recent fresh Call to Prayer across the nation and the world at this time from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus
For family and friends and neighbours
For all churches in our villages and towns and cities at this time
For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation
For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making
The Lord lives! Praise my defender!
Proclaim the greatness of the God who saves me.
Psalm 18 verse 46
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 18
Meditation : take the time and consider this psalm of praise afresh this Sunday morning.
What has God been saying to you from this Psalm?
What words will you hold on to – today and tomorrow?
And then pray in response – using verses 1-3 as you turn to prayer
How I love you, LORD!
You are my defender.
The LORD is my protector;
he is my strong fortress.
My God is my protection,
and with him I am safe.
He protects me like a shield;
he defends me and keeps me safe.
I call to the LORD,
and he saves me from my enemies.
Praise the LORD!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray the words of the Prayer for the Month as your own prayer today
God of the journey,
You call us to follow you
Without fear of stumbling,
Your hand held out
To steady the weakest soul.
Grant us faith strong enough
To take you at your word
And, should we struggle,
To know you’re with us along the way.
Through Christ our Saviour
Amen.
Evening
Reading : read Psalm 18 afresh – in another version perhaps?
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God
In my trouble I called to the LORD;
I called to my God for help.
In his temple he heard my voice;
he listened to my cry for help.
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 and a new week
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
