You may wish to revisit Psalm 119.137 and the Daily Devotions for today
You may need to name others before Father God
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 119 verse 137
Meditation : take time to consider this part of the psalm on this Sunday.
What do the words mean for you in your life?
What is your response to God’s written Word today?
And then pray in response
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own Midday Prayer
Heavenly Father — You know us better than we know ourselves.
We are conscious of our own limitations, and the weakness of our faith and witness.
Give us your Strength and Power –
show us how to find the right way – in the footsteps of your Son.
Let the re-assurance of your forgiveness be with us always.
We think of your promises given to your people over the ages — to Abraham — to David –
to Solomon — to the Virgin Mary — to the Apostles and Saints– and to us in our generation.
Help us to live out these Promises, with the help of your Holy Spirit.
Enable us to follow in the path of our Saviour, your Son Jesus Christ.
Make us more fully able to love You, to love our neighbours, and to love ourselves in due measure.
Give life in all its fullness, to our communities and to us,
so that in this way we may be agents in the advancement of your Kirk, in our World.
AMEN
