Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : MATTHEW chapter 5 verses 13-16

Meditation : take time and consider all that is said here about our God’s Kingdom ways
Salt and Light.
What images or words stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you?

And then Pray with your own words to this God of ours in response

And so we bring our evening prayers to you, our God Most High.
Amen – we pray together.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on Jacqui, Edna and Sunny as they serve us
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them real good we ask

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from MATTHEW chapter 5 verses 13-16
Reflect on the words written here and pray in response to the LORD our King.

Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, my soul
I will praise him as long as I live;
I will sing to my God all my life.

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth
As it is in heaven
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into the weekend….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from MATTHEW chapter 5 verse 5– as we start to consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

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

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