Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW 14 verses 22-36
Meditation : take the time to consider these events this Saturday morning.
Jesus walks on the water.
Jesus heals.
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching/reminding you about Himself today?
And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God
Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.
O God of great and miraculous things
We believe
Help our unbelief!
Amen we pray with praise together this new day!
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 the verses again from MATTHEW 14 verses 22-36
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray with Praise in response to what you have read
This is our God!
Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
