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.
Daily Devotions
The daily devotion page and Facebook page is a semi-guided tool providing support for your prayer time.
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.
These devotions, which we started as a church family in 2015, follow the pattern below, based on the Kirk’s origins in the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions
Morning:
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response
Midday:
Prayer – mostly for others
Evening:
Verse(s) from the morning reading
Reflection and Prayer at the end of the day
Daily Devotions for January 2025
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalms 18 verse 2
During 2026 we shall be looking daily at the theme of DAVID – GODLY WARRIOR KING. We will consider the things he did and said and also travel through the PSALMS.
We pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.
In January we start the journey in the Psalms as we consider the truths behind the words…familiar and unfamiliar. 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.

Prayer for the Month of January
Father, we let our roots grow deep in You,
and You nurture us.
For each day you protect and lead us,
showing us how to live.
For in our lowest moments, You support us,
so we praise You wholeheartedly,
giving all glory and honour to You.
In Jesus’ 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.
