As we move onward from Thy Kingdom Come 2023….so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit the daily themes – including the Cheeky Pandas in a few weeks for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here was the Day 10 post for us to ponder afresh….God who Empowers
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 19
Meditation : take time to consider these words on this Sunday.
The heavens declare!
What words or images stay with you?
What is God teaching/reminding you this morning?
And then pray in response,
Naming others known to you in our world
Looking again at verse 14
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 words again from PSALM 19
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Great Creator,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are
As we acknowledge You our Help even this day.
As we name others in need
As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To sing and speak of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Three in One
Reading : PSALM 12
Meditation : consider all that is said here as your day starts.
O LORD, you will keep us safe.
What is your response to God’s written Word today?
This is our God we believe and trust in.
Then turn to pray to Him in response
O LORD our God,
Thank you for all these words
And all they teach me about who you are.
Receive my sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving
And help me keep my eyes upward this day
My strength
My fortress
My loving God
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Bible Society in Guatemala
O LORD, give blessings and hear our prayers we ask this day.
Evening

Reflect on the words you have read and then pray in response – to this God, our God
LORD God, our God,
God who deserves our thanks
Our strength and fortress and loving God,
Hear the evening prayers of your people
For we are indeed in need of rescue from this world
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

In the LORD I take refuge.
What do the words mean to you at this time?
Take time to Pray in response – including for others known to you in need at this time
Asking….seeking…knocking….for our world, our nation.
We can but worship you this day O LORD
We can but ask for those in need or trouble this day O LORD
As we call out to you for our world in these days
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.

Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 11
Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes
God of the psalmist and the God of today,
The God of perfect refuge
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we thank you for your help today
As we journey from today to tomorrow
As we name others we care about before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
