Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this week….. with God – together – in this season of Lent – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from MATTHEW chapter 18 verses 6-9– as we consider TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Wednesday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Turkey and Syria, Ukraine, Myanmar and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Three in One

Reading : MATTHEW 18 verses 6-9

Meditation : consider all that is said here as your day starts.
Temptation to Sin.
How terrible if…

What is your response to God’s written Word today?
Is there a prayer of confession and need on your lips?

Then turn to pray to God in response

O LORD our God,
Thank you for all these words
And all they teach me about what matters.
Receive my sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving
And help me keep my eyes upward this day
O help me! Strengthen me!
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those who are patients in our city hospitals at this time.
O LORD, give help and healing and hear our prayers we ask this day.

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from MATTHEW 18 verses 6-9
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
Hear the evening prayers of your people
For we are indeed in need of rescue from this world
From the tempter’s snare.
From our sinful ways.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
