Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

What words and images stay with you from this parable?
What is God saying to you today as your day starts?
Is there a response God is asking of you?

Looking again at verse 14 as you turn to prayer

O LORD our God,
This is our morning prayer
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

Humbly reflect on what you read and then pray in response – for yourself and
for others you are concerned about at this time

LORD God, Father God, hear our many different prayers.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Call to Evening Prayer

As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.

We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.

At this time in your Wednesday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes.

You may wish to revisit PSALM 33.20 and consider the LORD my Shield.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.

A Time to Pray with Others

At this time in your Wednesday and in these changing times you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus

For family and friends and colleagues

For NHS and Care Home staff in our city

For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision
