DAILY DEVOTIONS

Daily Devotions for NOVEMBER 2024

A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God“.

Isaiah 40 verse 3

In 2024 we are considering BEFORE THE GOOD NEWS – GOD’S PLAN BEGINS – as we step back into the Old Testament and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.

From August-October we are journeying with the major prophets of Isaiah, Jeremiah, EZEKIEL and DANIEL.
This month we take time to consider words from the books of EZEKIEL and DANIEL.

We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2024.

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.

Prayer for the Month of OCTOBER

O LORD our God
The God of the Prophets
Yesterday, today and forever
Meet with us

O LORD our God
The God of the Prophets
Yesterday, today and forever
Speak with us

O LORD our God
The God of the Prophets
Yesterday, today and forever
Lead us and use us

Amen and 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
