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!
Thy Kingdom Come 2022 prayer venture will be running 26 May – 5 June.

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the children’s videos with the Cheeky Pandas!
This week it is the theme of ADORE – as we are encouraged to bring our songs and prayers of adoration to God!

Daily Devotions for Sunday 6th March, 2022

First Sunday of Lent

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

Reading : ROMANS 1 verse 7

Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
Loved by God. Called to be saints.
What encourages and challenges you today?

And then pray in response to the LORD our God
Making the second half of the verse your prayer for another today

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

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 this one verse again – ROMANS 1 verse 7
Reflect on all that is said here and then Pray in response to this God of grace and peace

O LORD, our Great God,
Hear our evening prayers of praise we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
