Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world as we pray for 5 people we know to meet with Jesus!

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is CELEBRATE – as we pause to offer our prayers – celebrating the good gifts God has given us recently – even today – celebrating His loving kindnesses to others – in our Church Family and across the world!

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

Reading : PSALM 71

Meditation : take time and consider this psalm this Sunday morning.

What do the words mean to you at this time?

We lift others before you
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

O LORD God

In our valleys
And on our mountain tops
Hear us

O LORD God
With songs of praise
And cries for help
Hear us

In Jesus’ name
Amen

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 71
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God

O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday

As we pilgrimage on towards tomorrow
As we name others before you

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
