Jesus said: “Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24.
As a Church we believe in the reality and power of Prayer.
There are many avenues for prayer through Liberton Kirk.
Prayer Requests
The Prayer Team can be contacted via email: minister@libertonkirk.net with any request and they will prayerfully act on the content. Team members can also meet you somewhere suitable if this is required.
There is also a Prayer Box for any request in the Kirkgate Foyer, the Offering House and at the east door in the Kirk. These boxes are checked regularly and treated confidentially.
Word for Today
The kirkyard is open from 8am to 5pm, (8pm in July and August). There are several stations (stopping points) starting at the Offering House just inside the main gate then tracing round the church building. At each station there is a verse from a Bible passage, with thoughts and a prayer. These change each month. There are many benches around the church building to rest in reflection and prayer.
In July/August the Word for Today takes the form of a Peace Pathway with different Bible verses relating to the peace which Jesus can give us in our lives.
If you are unable to visit in person, you can follow the pathway by clicking here.
Upper Room
On Tuesdays from 9am to 5pm in Kirk House (30 Kirkgate, next to Kirk Centre), there is a safe space for spending time alone with God. At midday there is a time to pray with others in a Northumbrian Community style.
All Welcome.
Sunday Service Prayer
Every Sunday, at the end of the 11am service, members of the prayer team will be available at the prayer station at the east door of the Kirk to speak to and pray with anyone who wishes to do so.
As of September 2026, the daily devotions have changed.
Going forward each month will be simplified into a reading and a inspiration for prayer. So whatever time of day you spend with God, there is still something to guide your way.
They will be updated monthly.

Daily Devotions for October 2026
The king then took a oath: “As surely as the Lord Lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble, I will surely carry out this very day what I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel.
1 Kings 1 verses 29 and 30
During 2026 we are looking daily at the theme of DAVID – GODLY WARRIOR KING. So far, we have considered some of the things He did and said and journeyed through several of the PSALMS.
In October we continue to daily journey with the PSALMS as we consider the truths behind the words.
We are all invited to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together daily in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ in 2026
Go to daily devotions for this month.
Prayer for the October
Lord of heaven, exalted King,
We are nothing without you.
We call to you in our darkness,
Turn around the distress in our lives,
Bring dancing and joy into our heats,
So that each day we sing to your name.
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.
