As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the youth videos.
This week it is SILENCE – as we are encouraged to pause and be still with God
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit, on this Sunday
Reading : ROMANS chapter 2
Meditation : take time to pause with the Living God on this first Sunday morning of the new year and consider these words from the Bible.
What words/truths stay with you?
Pray in response to what you have read and considered
For others on your prayer list as well as yourself
In Jesus’ name
Today this is my morning prayer
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 ROMANS chapter 2 again as your day ends
Reflect on the truths beyond the words and then Pray to this God …our God
O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear our evening prayers
As we praise You for who You are
As we return our thanks to you for the blessings of this day.
As we name others in need before You.
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As we step into a new year – with God – together
We PAUSE with Him in prayer
We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day
We ASK for His presence, peace and strength in 2022 – for ourselves and for others
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways in the days and months to come
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : ROMANS chapter 1
Meditation : take time to consider these opening words of Paul’s letter to the Church in Rome.
What is God teaching/reminding you today?
What words stay with you?
And then Pray in response to what you read – to this God of ours.
Pray for God’s blessing today for yourself and for another in the Church family
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen!
Midday

Thank you Jesus
That you came
From heaven to earth
As our Good News
Holy Spirit
Inspire us
Enable us
To share this Good News
In our street
In Liberton
In Scotland
In our world
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen.
Evening
Reading : read ROMANS chapter 1 again – in another version?
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer
LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are
For your blessings given even today
And as we give it all back to you
May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
