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!

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is SILENCE – as we are encouraged to be still with the Living God

Daily Devotions for Sunday 17th October, 2021

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

Reading : MATTHEW 1 verses 22 and 23

Meditation : take time to consider these words as we pause with God, the One who is with us.

And then pray in response,
Giving thanks for Jesus
Naming others in need of Immanuel with them

In Jesus’ Name, Amen

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

We rejoice in your love, O God!

We rejoice in your care, O Father God!

We rejoice in your saving grace, O Lord!

We rejoice in your good gifts, O merciful Lord!

We rejoice!
We give thanks!
We worship you!

With our words and songs of praise!

In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen.

Evening
Reading : read these two verses again from MATTHEW 1
Reflect on the words and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our God Immanuel,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of this Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.

A Call to Saturday Prayer with Others

As your Saturday closes you are invited to pause and pray with others in our Church Family as we step into Sunday

You may want to revisit the Daily Devotions for today from PSALM 149

You are encouraged to follow the pattern of P-R-A-Y which we have found to be a blessing from Lectio365/24-7 Prayer

P ause in God’s presence – acknowledge He is with you where you are

R ejoice in the blessings of this day He has given

A sk for His help – for yourself and for a situation/person known to you at this time

Y ield to His Kingdom will for tomorrow – say yes!
