Good Friday

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : ISAIAH 52 v 13 – ch.53 v 9
Meditation : take time and consider all that happens here
The Suffering Servant

What images or words stay with you?
What words encourage and challenge you today?

And then Pray with honest words to this Jesus in response

And so we ask, Lord Jesus,
With hearts of humble gratitude,
Have mercy on those we name before you
Give hope and deliverance we ask
Amen – we pray together.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on our Pray for 5 list
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them all real good we ask

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from ISAIAH 52 v 13 – ch.53 v 9
Reflect on the words written here and pray in response to this Jesus we believe in
Honestly
Humbly
Thankfully

In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen

Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into the weekend….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from GALATIANS 5 verses 1-15 – as we consider this part of the Bible….

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes….

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Friday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Syria, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, Russia, Myanmar, Yemen, Goma and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
