Easter Sunday Evening Prayer with Others

On this special Day…as we celebrate.. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from JOHN chapter 20– as we 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 Sunday – 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 Turkey and Syria, Ukraine and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

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

Thy Kingdom Come – at Midday – Bow Down

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture earlier last year – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world and the ThyKingdomCome prayer venture runs 18-28 May this year.

Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes…. This time we visit a recent short video that has been released for Thy Kingdom Come 20223…involving Pete Greig..at what happened at Bow Down.

Daily Devotions for Sunday 9th April, 2023

EASTER RESURRECTION Sunday!

Morning

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : JOHN chapter 20
Meditation : take time to consider these words on this Sunday.
Jesus appears!
Jesus is Alive!!

What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you this morning?

And then pray in response,
With songs of praise!
With words of hope and joy!

In Jesus’ Name, Amen and Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your Easter Sunday 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 words again from JOHN chapter 20
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your Easter Sunday

O LORD, our Great Hope,
On this Day
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of Jesus – the Risen Lord!
In His saving name, Amen.
