Worthy is the Lamb!
What encourages and challenges you today?
What words stay with you as you step into the new day?

With words and songs of praise

LORD
I look up to you,
Up to heaven, where you rule.

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth
At Messy in the Park
Where I am
As it is in heaven

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

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
Where I will be tomorrow

In Jesus’ name.
Amen
