Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 119 verse 129
Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
What stays with you?
What encourages and challenges you today?
And then pray in response to the LORD our God
O LORD our God,
Good and majestic One,
Creator God,
Great and so worthy of praise.
We bow before You on this Sunday morning.
We lay our lives before You.
O fill us with your Spirit afresh
For of ourselves we get it so wrong
Today and every day.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own Midday Prayer
Heavenly Father — You know us better than we know ourselves.
We are conscious of our own limitations, and the weakness of our faith and witness.
Give us your Strength and Power –
show us how to find the right way – in the footsteps of your Son.
Let the re-assurance of your forgiveness be with us always.
We think of your promises given to your people over the ages — to Abraham — to David –
to Solomon — to the Virgin Mary — to the Apostles and Saints– and to us in our generation.
Help us to live out these Promises, with the help of your Holy Spirit.
Enable us to follow in the path of our Saviour, your Son Jesus Christ.
Make us more fully able to love You, to love our neighbours, and to love ourselves in due measure.
Give life in all its fullness, to our communities and to us,
so that in this way we may be agents in the advancement of your Kirk, in our World.
AMEN
Evening
Reading : read these words again from Psalm 119 v 129
Reflect on what is said here in this one verse and then Pray in response to God
O LORD, our Great Creator God,
hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our Sunday
As we look ahead to the week coming
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
