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 and Youth Videos for the younger members of our Church Family!
Here was the Day 7 post for us to ponder afresh…..God Listens
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : ISAIAH chapter 42 verses 1-9
Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning
The LORD’s Servant
Chosen
What words stay with you?
Who is this Servant to you?
Then take time to Pray in response
Looking again at verses 1-4 as your turn to prayer
In Jesus’ name.
Amen and Amen – we pray together.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on our Church Prayer list
Father God, hear our prayers, have mercy on each and all we ask
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from ISAIAH chapter 42 verses 1-9
Reflect on the way the LORD’s Servant is described
and pray in response to Him
LORD God, Our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we return our sacrifice of praise for who you are
And your help even this day
Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who have sinned against us even today
As we bring ourselves and our world to you at the end of this day.
Amen.
Upper Room day – time-out with God
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord
As we pause with God today we consider these particular words
Reading : ISAIAH chapter 40 verses 9-17
Good News!
Israel’s God – incomparable!
What do these words mean for you today?
Who will you tell Good News to today?
And then respond in prayer with this God.
O Sovereign LORD
We can but worship you this day
Bowing in adoration before You
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
Keep us close to Jesus we ask
In His name we pray, 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.
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from ISAIAH chapter 40 verses 9-17
Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes
Sovereign LORD
The God of saving grace,
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.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : ISAIAH chapter 40 verses 1-8
Meditation : take the time to consider these great words again today
Comfort my people
A voice cries out!
What words stay with you as you step into today?
Pray in response – to this God, the God of hope and comfort and forgiveness
Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need – for yourself and others
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessings on Street Pastors on duty tonight in our city
O LORD, have mercy on each and all and give help we ask
Evening
Reading : read ISAIAH chapter 40 verses 1-8 again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to this God in response
LORD God, the LORD Almighty, hear my prayer this evening.
As I thank you for the blessings of this day
As I call out to you for others
As I lay myself and this world before you
Confessing my failures of this day
Trusting you for tomorrow
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9 verse 6
