Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea;
Listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer.
Psalm 17 verse 1
During 2020 we were looking at standing on the promises of God in the Bible.
In 2021 we are looking daily at the theme of PRAYER – and pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others
in our church family, our city and our world at this time.
* In February we consider therefore some of the PEOPLE IN PRAYER FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT. *
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during this year of 2021.
These Devotions are but one way to feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday, in the evening… to pray with Him continually through the day and even to share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover.
The Church website and Facebook page (even on a handy mobile) provide a fuller daily devotional page. However it all follows the pattern below which the information provided fits into, based on the Kirk’s origins of the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions which we started as a church family in 2015.

A Prayer for the Month of February
God of the journey,
You call us to follow you
Without fear of stumbling,
Your hand held out
To steady the weakest soul.
Grant us faith strong enough
To take you at your word
And, should we struggle,
To know you’re with us along the way.
Through Christ our Saviour
Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
