As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture last year – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the themes of the TKC venture….and this time we revisit the theme of PRAY FOR 5
You are invited to pause and pray for up to 5 friends, family members, neighbours, colleagues to meet Jesus and to know God for themselves.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : MATTHEW chapter 4 verses 23-25
Meditation : take time to consider these words on this Sunday morning.
Jesus teaches…preaches..heals…
What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you this morning?
And then pray in response,
Naming others known to you in need of meeting with Jesus.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
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 these verses again from MATTHEW chapter 4 verses 23-25
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Great Healer and Teacher,
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.
Amen and Amen.
Pause and consider a familiar hymn about our Great God as you listen to this video….
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW chapter 4 verses 18-22
Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
Jesus chooses four Fishermen.
Disciples.
What encourages and challenges you today?
What is God saying to you from His Word?
Is He calling you to do something for Him?
And then Pray in response
To be more like Jesus
Even today
LORD Jesus
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you are.
Hear my morning prayer
Hear the morning prayers of your people
As we live and talk and serve in this world
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Dear Jesus, to each other we have given our gifts of love
When we celebrated your birth.
But the wise men brought gifts
Showing Your Kingship,
The bitterness of life,
And the embalming in death.
Help us to remember that You came Purposefully
To exchange Your Life for ours.
Amen
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW chapter 4 verses 18-22
Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response
LORD
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you rule.
Hear my evening prayer
Hear the evening prayers of your people
As we have lived and talked and served through this day
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
