As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture last year in the 11 day run up to Pentecost – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world throughout the year!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the daily themes….and this time we revisit the Youth videos and the theme of PRAISEas we watch and listen on this first Sunday in February 2023….
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW 7 verses 21-23
Meditation : take time to carefully consider these words this morning.
The Kingdom of Heaven
“Get away from me!”
And then Pray in response to what you read – to this God of ours.
Humbly
Honestly
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Dear Lord,
Matthew teaches us that You care intensely about people.
Most notably those who are on the margin of society; the aged, the blind,
The infirm, the psychotic, and even those
whom we would naturally distrust.
Give us encouragement and grace to follow Your example,
that we may show Your Glory in our lives.
Amen
Evening
Reading : read MATTHEW 7 verses 21-23 again
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer
LORD God, our God,
Hear the honest and humble evening prayers of your people
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : MATTHEW 7 verses 15-20
Meditation : consider these words from Jesus this morning.
A Healthy Tree.
Bad Fruit.
What is God teaching/reminding you today?
What is your response to His words?
And then Pray in response – as God leads you
Humbly
Honestly
Amen – we pray together.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those on our wider world prayer list
Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy and give help we ask.
Evening
Reading : read this passage again from MATTHEW 7 verses 15-20
Reflect on the words you have just read and pray in response
Lord Jesus, hear our evening prayers as we respond to these words
And bring comfort and hope to those in need this evening we ask.
Amen.
