Each Saturday morning we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the days leading up to Pentecost….it was a call for the Church to seek and experience God’s Kingdom rule in our lives and churches and communities and land and across our world.
Today we pause to pray….asking for Help.
Ask
Seek
Knock
Expect
In Jesus’ name
Amen we say together.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus.
Reading : PSALM 1
Meditation : take time to consider these words this Saturday morning.
What images or words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word today?
Pray in response to the God of Psalm 1
O LORD
Our God
Good and Gracious One,
Receive our praise
Hear our prayers
And keep us on the right path we ask
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer
(See Matthew 6 or online under the Prayer tab on LK website)
Father God of grace and mercy, hear our prayers.
Evening
Reading : read this Psalm again
Reflect prayerfully on the words and images ….. and then Pray in response
Especially for others who feel lost and let down, in need of being restored
Spirit of the Living God, hear our evening prayers at the end of this day
And be with those we name before you.
In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.”
As we journey from 2018 into 2019 you are invited to join us on our daily pilgrimage with our God.
During 2019 we will be looking at various Bible characters and their relationship with God, and with each other – as well as a couple of Psalms each weekend – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time of the year.
** There will be a call to Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer at various times during the week as we travel through the year. We started this during Advent and many have responded and been encouraged to pause and pray briefly at these times with others. **
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we start together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2019….will you join with us?
