What is God saying to you today from His Word about Himself?

Pray in response to the God of ours – the LORD

O LORD

Mighty and Holy One,
Receive our praise
Hear our prayers
And keep us on the right path we ask
As you walk with us this day
And month
And year
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

Reflect prayerfully on the words ….. and then Pray in response
Especially for others who are seeking God at this time

And be with those we name before you.
In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #help

As part of God’s Church we participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year. This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many months ago now!

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of HELP as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to take time to bring our words to the LORD our God

We pray for those in need of God’s help at this time

We pray for those in need of God’s strength at this time

We pray for those in need of God’s wisdom at this time

We pray for those in need of God’s peace at this time

Have mercy we call out
In Jesus’ name….Amen
