Meditation : take the time to consider these words of THANKS this Saturday morning.
Which words stay with you as your day starts?

And then take time to Pray with THANKS in response to this God

Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.

Amen we pray with thanks together this new day!

In Jesus’ name
Amen we call out together

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from PHILIPPIANS 1 – in another version?
Reflect on the truths behind the words….
and then Pray with THANKS in response to what you have read

Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love

And so this evening we thank you O God for…..

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
