    Sunday 28 December 2025

    Today is Sunday the 28th of December, the feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Josh Garrels sings, ‘What Child is This?’ Take a moment to ponder the new-born Jesus, who entered into our world in such a fragile way. What Child is this who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? Why lay He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians fear for sinners here The silent word is pleading This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud The Babe, the Son of Mary So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh Come peasant king to own Him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him Nails, spears shall pierce Him through The cross he bore for me, for you Hail, hail the Word made flesh The Babe, the Son of Mary The Babe, the Son of Mary Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23 Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’ When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee. There he made his home in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, ‘He will be called a Nazorean.’ Two kings. One a young child – poor, vulnerable, not yet even aware of his lineage as a true Son of David. The other a powerful, ambitious, ruthless man ruling as King over Israel through Rome. Yet Jesus does not go unnoticed by him. Ponder how it is that simply the presence of Jesus evokes such a response from Herod. How might this presence of Jesus invite us to respond, perhaps in the parts of our life where we like to rule? As you hear again of Joseph’s response to God in the events of his life, stand in his shoes and seek to understand more deeply all that gave him impetus to act. Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23 Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’ When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee. There he made his home in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, ‘He will be called a Nazorean.’ ‘There he made his home.’ Speak with Jesus about where you need to find ‘home’ in these days. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end Amen

    Saturday 27 December 2025

    Welcome to the Saturday Examen. As you settle to prayer, pause for a moment and notice how you are … how you honestly are … and let God respond with love to you … you are totally, completely, deeply loved. This week we have been invited to share the experiences of those involved in Jesus’ birth … to be people who believe what God might do … to speak of God’s working in our time… to gaze upon a newborn who is our good news of God’s love. What of this has left you most thankful? As you recall the events of your week, invite God to show you where you have experienced encouragement in difficulty … welcomed Jesus though little and vulnerable … or seen the Word break through with light and peace? Where might you have felt resistance to where God might be breaking into your life? Sit with God with what you have gathered from the week, letting God’s love hold it all… Looking ahead to the coming week and all it brings, ask from God what you need … Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end Amen


    Friday 26 December 2025 - Wisdom and right speaking Dec 26, 2025
    Show notes

    Friday 26 December 2025

    Today is Friday the 26th of December, the feast of Saint Stephen. The Porter’s Gate sings, ‘Benedictus’. God in all your tender compassion The dawn from on high, it will break on us Shining on those living in shadow Guiding our feet into the way of peace You will guide our feet You will guide our feet You will guide our feet into peace Today’s reading is from the Book of Acts. Acts 6:8-10, 7:54-59 Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and others of those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and argued with Stephen. But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. When they heard these things, they became enraged and ground their teeth at Stephen. But filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ‘Look,’ he said, ‘I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!’ But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ Mentioned in this reading are two very different people– Stephen and Saul. One is full of grace and power who bears good news for everyone; the other beginning his leadership as one who would destroy those belonging to the Early Church. Imagine what it would be like to be in the company of each one. Both attract followers. What might draw you to follow Stephen and Saul? What might God want you to notice about your responses? Stephen spoke truth that led to his martyrdom. As you hear the scripture again, pray for those whose steady witness to Christ is leading them to be persecuted. Acts 6:8-10, 7:54-59 Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and others of those from Cilicia and Asia, stood up and argued with Stephen. But they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he spoke. When they heard these things, they became enraged and ground their teeth at Stephen. But filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ‘Look,’ he said, ‘I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!’ But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ The Spirit gives wisdom and right speaking. Ask the Spirit for this grace where you need it in life at this time. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end Amen


    Thursday 25 December 2025 - The light shines in the darkness Dec 25, 2025
    Show notes

    Thursday 25 December 2025

    Today is Thursday the 25th of December, the feast of the Nativity of the Lord. The University of Johannesburg Choir sings, ‘My Lord Has Come’ by Will Todd. As you listen, take a moment to place yourself in the Nativity scene... let your senses experience the moment in its fullness... Shepherds, called by angels, called by love and angels: No place for them but a stable. My Lord has come. Sages, searching for stars, searching for love in heaven; No place for them but a stable. My Lord has come. His love will hold me, his love will cherish me, love will cradle me. Lead me, lead me to see him, sages and shepherds and angels; No place for me but a stable. My Lord has come. Today’s reading is from the Gospel of John. John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. A very happy Christmas from the team at Pray As You Go! Today we celebrate a birth. The arrival of the eternal Word in time and space … flesh, bones, blood, pitched among us … intimate with life and the messiness of living … and death itself … born because he loves each one of us. Simply sit with this. Let those words settle deep within… A word needs breath, shape, purpose. Picture this newborn baby, Jesus. Here is a person with breath, body and a purpose yet to unfold throughout his life. What might you want to say to him as you see him little, vulnerable … As you listen once more to the reading, let this Word, who is life and light, be heard in you … John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. Gaze on this newborn, this Word made flesh and let him know your heart’s longing for him at this time. We end our time on this Christmas day with ‘Joy to the World’, by One Hope Project. Joy to the world, the Lord is come Let Earth receive her King Let every heart prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness And wonders of his love And wonders of his love And wonders of his love Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end Amen


    Wednesday 24 December 2025 - Light and peace Dec 24, 2025
    Show notes

    Wednesday 24 December 2025

    Today is Wednesday the 24th of December, in the 4th week of Advent. The Portsmouth Grammar School Chamber Choir sing 'Lux Aurumque' by Eric Whitacre: “Light, warm and heavy as pure gold, and the angels sing softly to the newborn babe”. Can you hear the picture of Christ’s light in this song? Lux, Calida gravisque pura velut aurum Et canunt angeli molliter modo natum. Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke. Luke 1:67-79 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke this prophecy: ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favourably on his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a mighty saviour for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.’ Can you remember a time of watching dawn arrive? The light stealing into the shadows… the sun gradually breaking open the darkness and revealing what was unseen. In what ways might light and peace be gently breaking upon you and your life at this time? The Saviour’s way was being prepared for his arrival. How are you and God together preparing for his Son to come among us? As you hear again Zechariah’s Spirit-filled words, how might your heart be drawn to bless God? Luke 1:67-79 Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke this prophecy: ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favourably on his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a mighty saviour for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the forgiveness of their sins. By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.’ In this final day of waiting for Jesus to once more steal among us in quiet, hidden, unexpected ways, speak with him about your hopes for his arriving anew. O Wisdom Lord and Ruler Root of Jesse Key of David Rising Sun King of the Nations Emmanuel Come, Lord Jesus


    Tuesday 23 December 2025 - What then will this child become? Dec 23, 2025
    Show notes

    Tuesday 23 December 2025

    Today is Tuesday the 23rd of December, in the 4th week of Advent. Salt of the Sound sings, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’. What hopes and fears would you like Christ to meet with today? O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke. Luke 1:57-66 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. Her neighbours and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. But his mother said, ‘No; he is to be called John.’ They said to her, ‘None of your relatives has this name.’ Then they began motioning to his father to find out what name he wanted to give him. He asked for a writing-tablet and wrote, ‘His name is John.’ And all of them were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. Fear came over all their neighbours, and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill country of Judea. All who heard them pondered them and said, ‘What then will this child become?’ For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. In this reading comes an important celebration of naming. All expected that this first-born’s naming would continue the family line. It is Elizabeth, who believed in what God was doing, who first announces he is to be called John. Be with Elizabeth as her neighbours and relatives react with disbelief. Like Elizabeth, has there been a time for you where God has invited you to do the unexpected or out of the ordinary? How was God with you through it? As you hear the story again, notice the faithfulness of Elizabeth and Zechariah that causes people around them to question and wonder at God’s doing. Luke 1:57-66 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. Her neighbours and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. But his mother said, ‘No; he is to be called John.’ They said to her, ‘None of your relatives has this name.’ Then they began motioning to his father to find out what name he wanted to give him. He asked for a writing-tablet and wrote, ‘His name is John.’ And all of them were amazed. Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. Fear came over all their neighbours, and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill country of Judea. All who heard them pondered them and said, ‘What then will this child become?’ For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him. Perhaps speak with God about how your heart responds to this witness of Elizabeth and Zechariah in following God’s prompting.

    Monday 22 December 2025 - My soul magnifies the Lord Dec 22, 2025
    Show notes

    Monday 22 December 2025

    Today is Monday the 22nd of December, in the 4th week of Advent. The Cape Town Camerata sings, ‘My Siel Verheerlik Die Here’; a setting of the Magnificat, from Rachmaninoff’s Vespers sung in Afrikaans. We will pray with Mary's song today. How might you like to prepare for this time of prayer in your own way? (Lyrics currently unavailable) Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke. Luke 1:46-55 And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’ Today we hear Mary’s response to Elizabeth, whose words of blessing, inspired by the Holy Spirit, affirm the truth that Mary is carrying the Lord. Imagine how it might have been for Mary to receive that greeting after all she has lived through to this moment … ‘The Mighty One has done great things for me.’ Have there been times in your own life when these words have rung true for you? Remember and savour some of these … Mary’s joy is for God who acts on behalf of the lowly, the humble, the hungry. As you listen again, hold before God those who particularly need the saving action of God at this time. Luke 1:46-55 And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’ Talk with God about areas in your life for which you seek encouragement and notice God's response.

    Sunday 21 December 2025 - The Lord himself will give you a sign Dec 21, 2025
    Show notes

    Sunday 21 December 2025

    Today is Sunday the 21st of December, beginning the 4th week of Advent. SisterBrother sings, ‘Angels We Have Heard on High’. Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing. Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Gloria in excelsis Deo. See him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise. Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While our hearts in love we raise. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Today’s reading is from the Prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 7:10-14 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, saying, Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test. Then Isaiah said: ‘Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. The Lord invites Ahaz to ask for a sign from God. But Ahaz refuses to put God to the test. When have you resisted or hesitated to embrace the encouragement or invitation of God? What happened within you at that time? What did you learn about God despite your reluctance? Even though he refuses, God still gives Ahaz the sign of a young woman bearing a child called Immanuel - ‘God with us.’ What does this promise mean to you personally? What difference has the fulfilment of this promise made in your life? Where do you most need to experience ‘God with us’ today? As you listen to this passage again, ponder how God might be inviting you to share this great sign with others this Christmas. Isaiah 7:10-14 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, saying, Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test. Then Isaiah said: ‘Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. In the last few moments of prayer, rest quietly in the presence of God. Allow the Spirit to release within you thanksgiving for the gift of Jesus. In the silence, offer that gratitude to God. O Wisdom Lord and Ruler Root of Jesse Key of David Rising Sun King of the Nations Emmanuel Come, Lord Jesus

    Saturday 20 December 2025

    Welcome to the Saturday Examen. This week, we’ve explored the invitation to trust God’s plans, surrender our control of events and learn to wait patiently for God to act. In the stillness, allow the Spirit to bring to mind your prayer times this week and the journey you’ve been on. Where have you felt closest to Jesus? Why was this? What did you experience? What has challenged, unsettled or disturbed you? When did you feel resistant to God? Tell God about these times. Where have you sensed the Spirit at work in you this week? What growth in faith has this brought? Give thanks for this. What is God’s invitation to you this week? Ask God for the gifts and graces you need to grow deeper in faith and trust as we approach the great festival of Christmas. O Wisdom Lord and Ruler Root of Jesse Key of David Rising Sun King of the Nations Emmanuel Come, Lord Jesus

    Friday 19 December 2025

    Today is Friday the 19th of December, in the 3rd week of Advent. Eliza King with Hillside Recording sings, ‘Come Thou Long Expected Jesus’. Can you make this your own song today? Come Thou long expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in Thee Israel's strength and consolation Hope of all the earth Thou art Dear desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart Born Thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a King Born to reign in us forever Now Thy gracious Kingdom bring By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone By Thine all sufficient merit Raise us to Thy glorious throne Today’s reading is from the Gospel of Luke. Luke 1:5-25 In the days of King Herod of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly order of Abijah. His wife was a descendant of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. Both of them were righteous before God, living blamelessly according to all the commandments and regulations of the Lord. But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were getting on in years. Once when he was serving as priest before God and his section was on duty, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and offer incense. Now at the time of the incense-offering, the whole assembly of the people was praying outside. Then there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was terrified; and fear overwhelmed him. But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or strong drink; even before his birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit. He will turn many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. With the spirit and power of Elijah he will go before him, to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.’ Zechariah said to the angel, ‘How will I know that this is so? For I am an old man, and my wife is getting on in years.’ The angel replied, ‘I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. But now, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time, you will become mute, unable to speak, until the day these things occur.’ Place yourself into this story as Zechariah. Let the scene come alive around you. Where are you? What can you see? And hear? And smell? What is stirring in your thoughts as you serve? What happens to you and around you as the angel appears? Notice how you respond to God’s astonishing message... How is it to find yourself unable to speak? Listen as the story continues... Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah, and wondered at his delay in the sanctuary. When he did come out, he could not speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the sanctuary. He kept motioning to them and remained unable to speak. When his time of service was ended, he went to his home. After those days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she remained in seclusion. She said, ‘This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked favourably on me and took away the disgrace I have endured among my people.’ Now place yourself into this story as Elizabeth. What has happened to your husband? How has he changed? How do you help him? What is happening now within you? What does it mean for you to receive such grace from God after so many years? What do you want to say to God? Say it now. As you rest in prayer, ponder where God may be inviting you to trust and let go. Pray for the grace to wait in silence for God to act. O Wisdom Lord and Ruler Root of Jesse Key of David Rising Sun King of the Nations Emmanuel Come, Lord Jesus
