Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Holy Spirit

Meditation : As we pause with God this morning…
Take time to consider these words from the psalmist.
Honest words.
To the God of constant love.

And then take the time to Pray in response to what you have read
Pausing. Waiting. Receiving.

I wait eagerly for the LORD’s help,
and in his word I trust.
I wait for the Lord
more eagerly than sentries wait for the dawn—
than sentries wait for the dawn.

In Jesus’ name we pray together
Amen.

I waited patiently for the LORD’s help;

He taught me to sing a new song,
a song of praise to our God.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

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
