Daily Devotions for Sunday 16th May, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
‘Thy Kingdom Come’

Reading : PSALM 51

Meditation : take time to consider these words and the theme of SORRY today.
What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you this morning?

And then pray in response…confessing….receiving….
Using verses from this psalm as part of your own prayer this morning

In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer

Our Father in Heaven
May your holy name be honoured
In our lives
In your Church

Our Father in Heaven
May your kingdom rule be seen
In our lives
In our community

Our Father in Heaven
May your will be done
In our lives
In our nation

Our Father in Heaven
May your kingdom come
May your will be done
In our world

In Jesus’ name
Amen

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 51
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, God of mercy and amazing grace,
We bring our evening prayers to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who have sinned against us even today
As we name others in need
As we pray for all corners of our world
To know of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #sorry

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost…..and this year it will happen May 13th-23rd.

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 SORRY as we pause to pray with others in our nation and across the world.

We are encouraged to pause and take time with the LORD our God on this particular Saturday in February 2021.
To confess our sins

Words said that should not have been spoken
Words that should have been said

Actions done that should not have been
Actions not done

Thoughts that should not have been thought
Thoughts that should have been thought

And to receive God’s forgiveness and cleansing and renewing

Thy Kingdom Come #sorry

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 SORRY as we pause to pray with others.

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

We confess words said that we should not have said

We confess words not said that should have been said

We confess actions done that we should not have done

We confess actions not done that should have been done

We confess to Father God where we have gone our own way – and not His Kingdom will for us.

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

We are invited to spend time with the LORD our Father God….bringing our prayers to Him

For things done we shouldn’t have…

For things undone we should have…

For things spoken we shouldn’t have…

For things unspoken we should have…

For things thought we shouldn’t have…

For things thought we should have…

For being unlike Jesus…..

And we receive His forgiveness and cleansing and peace….

As we spend time in the Father’s arms and know afresh that He loves us…
