Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : MATTHEW chapter 5 verses 17-20
Meditation : take the time to consider these words from Jesus this Saturday morning.
The Law.
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you today about His ways?
And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God
Make these words your own
Praise the LORD!
It is good to sing praise to our God;
it is pleasant and right to praise him.
The LORD is restoring Jerusalem;
he is bringing back the exiles.
He heals the broken-hearted
and bandages their wounds.
He has decided the number of the stars
and calls each one by name.
Great and mighty is our Lord;
his wisdom cannot be measured.
He raises the humble,
but crushes the wicked to the ground.
Amen we pray with praise together this new day
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
Dear Jesus, to each other we have given our gifts of love
When we celebrated your birth.
But the wise men brought gifts
Showing Your Kingship,
The bitterness of life,
And the embalming in death.
Help us to remember that You came Purposefully
To exchange Your Life for ours.
Amen
Evening
Reading : read the verses again from MATTHEW chapter 5 verses 17-20
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
This is our God!
Sing hymns of praise to the LORD;
play music on the harp to our God.
He spreads clouds over the sky;
he provides rain for the earth
and makes grass grow on the hills.
He gives animals their food
and feeds the young ravens when they call.
His pleasure is not in strong horses,
nor his delight in brave soldiers;
but he takes pleasure in those who honour him,
in those who trust in his constant love
Thank you O God
For your perfect ways
For your perfect Law
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
