As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is THY KINGDOM COME – as we are encouraged to seek first the Kingdom of God in our lives, in our community, in our nation, in this world.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : ACTS 4 verses 23-31
Meditation : take time and consider this passage this Sunday morning.
Praying for Boldness.
What does it mean for you today?
What is God teaching/reminding you today?
And then pray in response – using verse 30 as you turn to prayer
God of grace and might and power
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We ask for boldness
To live for Jesus
To speak of Jesus
Even today
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
We rejoice in your love, O God!
We rejoice in your care, O Father God!
We rejoice in your saving grace, O Lord!
We rejoice in your good gifts, O merciful Lord!
We rejoice!
We give thanks!
We worship you!
With our words and songs of praise!
In Jesus’ name
Amen and Amen.
Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from ACTS 4 verses 23-31
Reflect on the words spoken here and then Pray in response to this God
O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on into this new week
Build your Church, Lord
Make us strong, Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As your Sunday closes you are invited to pause and pray with others in our Church Family as we step into a new week
You may want to revisit the Daily Devotions for today from MATTHEW 1 verses 22 and 23
You are encouraged to follow the pattern of P-R-A-Y which we have found to be a blessing from Lectio365/24-7 Prayer
P ause in God’s presence – acknowledge He is with you where you are
R ejoice in the blessings of this day He has given
A sk for His help – for yourself and for a situation/person known to you at this time
Y ield to His Kingdom will for tomorrow – say yes!
On this Sunday in October…as the nation and the world still wrestles with new cases and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern… you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time
For family and friends and neighbours
For the Church in our world at this time – to be salt and light
For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation
For our country and world leaders at this time of decision making as COP26 approaches
Jesus said…..
“In the same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine respectable people who do not need to repent.”
Luke 15 verse 7
