Reading : JOHN 1 verse 1

Meditation : take time and consider this opening verse this morning.
The Logos, the Eternal Word, is God.
What does this mean for you?
How would you describe your relationship with God?

And then pray in response – as your day starts
including for others seeking to know God at this time

Pray your own words to the LORD our God.

And then together we pray…

O LORD,
Eternal God,
The Living Word,
Have mercy we ask and hear our prayers
For others
For family
For neighbours and colleagues
For ourselves
That they and we might know You
And have your gift of eternal life
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
