  • Pause and Pray – Daily Resources
    Pause and Pray – Daily Resources Thursday 12th November 2020 Pause As I enter prayer now, I pause to be still: to breathe slowly to re-centre my scattered senses upon the presence of God. Lord, we come as your people; we come as your friends. We come together. We come as we are. We come to be made one. We come to worship, that we might go in your name. Amen Rejoice I rejoice in God’s salvation, joining with the ancient praise of all God’s people in the words of Psalm 27 verse 1 ‘The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?’ Reflect I reflect today on the words of scripture found in Malachi 3 verse 10: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” I ask myself when have I seen God’s blessing outpoured in my life or in the life of others? What would it look like for our churches to be overflowing with God’s blessings? Ask Today we pray for: Bishop Julian, Bishop Philip & Bishop Jill Archdeacon David & Archdeacon Mark Friday 13th November 2020 Pause As I enter prayer now, I pause to be still: to breathe slowly to re-centre my scattered senses upon the presence of God.
