On this particular day…the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II…we pause and pray with others around the world…especially for her family as they journey through this day.
O LORD God, Father God, our God
Give comfort
And strength
And help
And peace
We ask together
In Jesus’ name
Amen
You are invited to pause and pray with those gathered in the Upper Room today and those attending Betty Boyle’s funeral

Y-ield to His Kingdom ways
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : JOHN 20 verses 19-23
Meditation : take time and consider Jesus’ words this Sunday morning.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father sent me, so I send you.”
Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
And then pause with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Wait.
Hear.
Receive.
Thank you O my God
For your peace
For sending even me
For the gift of Your Holy Spirit
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
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
