Spirit of God divine,
Fill this heart of mine
With holy flame,
To praise the name
Of Jesus my Lord.

Fill me again,
Fill me again,
Fill me again,
O Spirit of the Lord.

In Jesus’ Name
Amen.

Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
‘Thy Kingdom come’ Father God
LORD our God…thank you.

Evening

Reading : read the words again from EPHESIANS 5.18
Reflect on Paul’s words…. And then pray to our God in response

Father God, our gracious God, hear our evening prayers,
As we return our thanks to You.
As we look back on our day
As we lift our open hands and hearts afresh to You
As we trust you for tomorrow
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time-Out Tuesday

As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these times sadly it is not possible to open and run this space….at the moment.

But…..our Tuesdays can still be an opportunity for time out…..with God…..where we are at home or work

You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday tomorrow and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are encouraged to speak with Him….to listen to Him.…to receive from Him…especially at this time as we seek to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in our times.

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this week together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these particular days….

Upper Room day – time out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : ROMANS 8 verses 9-11

Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
‘The Spirit gives you life.’
What is God teaching you this morning ?
What is your response to His Word?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to wait before God

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the three verses again from ROMANS 8
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
