Simultaneous prayer: Loving God: 6:00am and or 6:00pm – pray in new ways to express worship, love and devotion to God, with friends, family or on your own.

Phil 2:5-11
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Let’s also take time today to pray for the those working in frontline evangelism in the UK, for Sarah Barnes at New Generation Music in Bristol, the Dweeb boys, including Tim Alford and others we know locally and nationally.

Again, we’re meditating on the person of Jesus…
I am the gate for the sheep John 10:7

Jesus has designs on our all our neighbours, friends and family – that they know and love him! Pray today that God will reveal himself to them and draw many into his “sheepfold.” Pray for Just 10 and all other activities declaring the message of Christ and showing the love of God to those we know.

Thank God for our Mums too!

I am the light of the World
John 8:12

Let’s pray that the Light of Christ may shine in the Rikbaktsa tribes people that Sheila Tremaine works with in Brazil.

Let’s meditate on who Jesus is, and can be to us…
I am the bread of life. John 6:35

Also please pray today for our student Adam Gimson who had a planned operation on his jaw and teeth yesterday. He’s in Otter ward at the RD&E recovering for the next few days.

Eph. 3:14-19
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

As we pray today lets reflect on these words for Gemma Randall and Cat Sercombe in Romania and all at the Haven of Hope Orphanage and church.

Fasting today!

Eph. 1:15-21
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Also pray these words today for Bob & Muriel and those in L’Oasis in France.

21st day of Lent today. Our theme moves on to “Loving God” for the next ten days.

Matt. 22:37-39
Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself.”

Let’s especially pray for Monty and his family today: Lorna’s funeral followed by cremation is at mid day.

Is. 55:8-11
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways,” declares the LORD.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it
without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields
seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from
my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Touching Heaven Changing Earth
Daily prayer focus

Ex. 17:10-15
So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and
Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill.
As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but
whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he
sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up — one on one side, one on the
other — so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be
remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely
blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”

Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner.
