As a church family at Liberton Kirk we have been revisiting the 11 themes from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier in the year. We are pausing to do so together on a Saturday morning.
This morning we are invited to pause and pray…with confession…as we say sorry to Father God.
Take time with Him
As you look back over the week
As you consider others in your life
As you ponder your relationship with Him at this time
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus.
Reading : ISAIAH 9 verse 6
Meditation : take time to consider these words this Saturday morning.
What is God saying to you today from His Word about Himself?
Pray in response to the God of Isaiah 9.6
Looking again at the words as you turn to prayer
O LORD
Our God
Mighty and Holy One,
Receive our praise
Hear our prayers
And keep us looking upwards
As you walk with us this day
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer
(See Matthew 6 or online under the Prayer tab on LK website)
Father God of grace and mercy, hear our prayers.
Evening

Reflect prayerfully on the words and images ….. and then Pray in response
Especially for others in need of knowing this God, our God

In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.
