As we move onward from Thy Kingdom Come 2024 ……so we keep praying!!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting the daily themes – including the Cheeky Pandas and Youth Videos for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here was the Cheeky Pandas post from TKC with Archbishop of Canterbury telling a story for us to ponder afresh…..
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : PSALM 53
Meditation : take time and consider this part of the Bible this Sunday morning.
God looks down from heaven…
What do these words mean for you today?
How would you describe your walk with God at the moment?
And then pray in response – using the words of verses 2 and 3 as you turn to prayer
O God of grace-giving-Life
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
We call out to you for those we know
In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
O LORD our God
Teach us how
To trust You with all our heart
and lean not on our own understanding;
Help us
In all our ways to submit to You,
and know You will make our paths straight.
For we believe and trust in You
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Amen and Amen
Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from PSALM 53
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God
Looking again at verse 1
O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
Forgive us our sins
Even today
As we forgive those who have sinned against us
Even today
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on towards tomorrow
With hope and confidence in You above all others
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 47
Meditation : take the time to consider these words this Saturday morning.
Clap your hands!!
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
What is God teaching you about Himself today?
And then take time to Pray with Praise in response to this God
Looking again at verses 5 and 6
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 Lord’s Prayer as your own 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 the verses again from PSALM 47
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray with Praise 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
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Morning

Reading : PROVERBS 6 verses 16-19

Six things
God detests
