As we move onward towards Thy Kingdom Come 2024….so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we have been re-visiting the daily themes of 2023 – including the Cheeky Pandas for a few weeks for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here is a video from them about GENTLENESS – the beach……
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : GENESIS chapter 48
We take time to consider these words about this family blessing this particular morning ….
And then pray to God in response
Naming others known to you in your family at this time
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
O God of Adam
Abraham, Jacob and Joseph
Our God
Travel with us
God of beginnings
Journeys, dreams and family
Our God
Go before us
God of future planning
Speaking, moving and tomorrows
Our God
Be with us
Today, tomorrow and forever
In Jesus, name
Amen
Evening
Reading : read these words again from GENESIS chapter 48
Reflect on these words of family blessing and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Great Hope,
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 Family in all corners of our world
To live and speak of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
As we step into Sunday….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from GENESIS 46 verse 26 – ch.47 verse 12 – as we consider BEFORE THE GOOD NEWS – GOD’S PLAN BEGINS through 2024.
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes….
We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Saturday – 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 Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Yemen and other parts of our world in deep need at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : GENESIS chapter 46 v26 – chapter 47 v12
Jacob
Joseph
Family
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Praying for families and communities divided over Jesus
O LORD our God
Hear our cries this morning
Amen we pray together this new day.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own 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 the verses again from GENESIS chapter 46 v26 – chapter 47 v12
Reflect on the truths behind the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
For yourself and for others divided over Jesus
Examine me, O God, and know my mind;
test me, and discover my thoughts.
Find out if there is any evil in me
and guide me in the everlasting way
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As we step into the weekend….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from GENESIS chapter 45 – as we consider BEFORE THE GOOD NEWS – GOD’S PLAN BEGINS through 2024.
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes….
