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

Reading : JOHN chapter 10 verses 1-21 again
Meditation : take time and consider this part of the chapter again this Sunday morning.
“I am the Good Shepherd”

What do these words mean for you today?
Who are you following in your daily life?

And then pray in response – looking again at verses 14-16 as you turn to prayer

O God of perfect shepherding
Of love and care and protection
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We offer you our songs of praise
This new day
O help us to stay close to the Good Shepherd
Even today
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!


Midday

Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your 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 particular verses again from JOHN 10 verses 1-21
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God
Looking again at verses 17 and 18

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
Staying close to You
With hope and trust in You above all others
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
