afternoon prayer
		  	  
		  It is a wonderful thing to pause for a moment at midday and remember that God is with you. The first 
afternoon prayer on this page reflects on God’s goodness during the morning and asks for a deeper awareness of His presence through the rest of the day. Further down there is also a 
short prayer for the afternoon and two inspiring 
bible verses for meditation and reflection!
		   
		   
Afternoon prayer of thanks to God
Lord God,
				   We thank you for your  goodness to us this morning, for the birdsong that lifted our hearts, for the  nourishment and comfort of food and drink, and for the time spent with family  and friends in fellowship. 
				   Lead us to be more aware of  your presence this afternoon and evening. May you dwell within all that we  share and do. 
				   
Amen.
					   
					   
				 a beautiful prayer suitable for reflecting on the morning and committing the rest of your day in service to the living Lord:
 
Short Afternoon Prayer
Father,
				   My dependency is in you. This  afternoon please come and be centre stage in my life. I offer you everything I  am about to do and ask that you would receive it as an act of loving service to  you.
				   Amen.
