Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : COLOSSIANS 1 verse 15

Meditation : take time and consider this verse about Jesus.
What does it say to you today?
What is your response to God’s Word?

and then pray in response – using the words of the verse

O God
Open our eyes
And help us to see
Jesus
In all His glory.
Teach us
Help us
We ask.
Amen.

Midday
Pray for your church family to know God’s blessing at this time of the year
O LORD, God of mercy, hear our cry and pour out blessing we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these particular words again from Colossians 1
Reflect on the words and then Pray in response to this God of ours
A Celtic Prayer
Be Thou my vision
O Lord of my heart.
Be all else but naught to me,
Save that Thou art.
Be Thou my best thought
In the day and the night.
Both waking and sleeping,
Thy presence my light.

Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #Prayfor

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost earlier this year believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers for others – for them to experience God’s Kingdom blessings!

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers for others this morning.
Lift before Him those known to you at this time.
Lay before Him those in need in our church family.
Pray for refugees and others from overseas in our city, in our community.

O LORD our God
Hear our prayers
And have mercy we ask.
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen!
