Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : GENESIS chapter 15
Meditation : take time to consider these significant words this morning.
God’s Covenant with Abram.

What encourages and challenges you today?
What is God saying to you from His Word?

And then Pray in response
For our world
For yourself

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

Hear my morning prayer
Hear the morning prayers of your people

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

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from GENESIS chapter 15
Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response

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

Hear my evening prayer
Hear the evening prayers of your people

In Jesus’ name.
Amen
