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 on a Saturday morning.
Today we are invited to pray for others known to us to meet with Jesus and to experience the Kingdom of God as a living reality in their lives.
Father God
As we name others before you
Have mercy
Give salvation
According to your amazing grace
In Jesus’ name
Amen.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 130
Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
God is to be hoped in.
What encourages and challenges you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?
And then Pray in response – looking again at verses 2-5
O God,
Hear my morning prayer
And have mercy
As I lay myself
And this day
Before you
In Jesus’ name.
Amen
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those are hospital chaplains in our city
Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy and bless them real good we ask
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Psalm 130 at the end of your day
Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response
LORD God, our God, hear our prayers this evening
As we return our thanks to You
And trust you for tomorrow
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Take time to Pray in response
O God of love and grace,
As I read these words
Help me believe
And trust in You
Oh show mercy in these days we call out
And help us to be a people
More like Jesus
And less like the world
In Jesus’ name.
Amen – we pray together.

As we bring ourselves to you at the end of this day.

(Pray your own words to the LORD God
In worship and thanks for what you have read,
In confession and need to be more like Jesus,
And for others known to you at this time in a hard place.)

On our Church
On our world
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
