Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

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 OFFER – as we offer all that we are and have to God’s Kingdom Will

Daily Devotions for Sunday 12th September, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : PSALM 40

Meditation : take time to consider these words as we pause with God today.

And then pray in response to this God
The God we believe and trust in

I waited patiently for the LORD’s help;
then he listened to me and heard my cry.
He pulled me out of a dangerous pit,
out of the deadly quicksand.
He set me safely on a rock
and made me secure.
He taught me to sing a new song,
a song of praise to our God.

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 PSALM 40
Reflect on the words written here and then Pray in response at the end of your day
As you prepare to step into a new week with God

P-ause and wait with God
R-ejoice in the blessings of today
A-sk for another
Y-ield to God’s purposes for tomorrow

In Jesus’ name
Amen.

Be merciful and answer me
When you said, “Come worship me,”
I answered, “I will come, LORD.”

Hear my evening prayer
And have mercy
As I lay myself
And all this day has brought
Before you

In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
