On this particular Thursday…as the nation journeys forward out of this season of Lockdown..and goes to the polling stations… you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus
For family and friends
For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation
For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making
You are invited to pause and pray with others at this time in Election Day
For all candidates
For voters
For those on election duty at polling stations
For God’s Kingdom will to be done
As a Church we believe in the reality and power of Prayer.
A Prayer Wall is now available on the Kirk website.
You can find this in the PRAYER section on the LK website…and we will be doing our best to keep this section more relevant and fresh.
Please have a look.
Please add your own prayer whenever you wish or need to.
Each prayer written will be monitored first by members of the Prayer Team before it is made public, so anything private or abusive will be picked up.
You are invited to ask for follow-up if it is helpful or to mention if you wish the prayer content to remain private within the Prayer Team and not be made public on the Wall.
Please remember that the Prayer Team can be contacted through John and Lindsay with any request and they will prayerfully act on the content. The 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 and a Prayer Bench will soon be available in the Kirkyard – a place to pause with God.
A prayer….
Lord, we hand this new venture over to You.
We thank You for the wonder of Prayer.
Now we ask you to do amazing things among us through this Prayer Wall!
Give us wisdom and answers!
In Jesus’ name
Amen.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God
Reading : PSALM 94
Meditation : take time and carefully consider these words today.
‘Rise up, O Judge of the earth’
What is God saying to you today about Himself from His Word?
Then pray in response to the LORD as your day starts
Pray your own words this morning to the LORD God as you come near to Him……..
In Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those who work in our emergency services
Lord, hear our prayers and bless each and all real good we ask.
Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from PSALM 94
Reflect on the words written here – and what God is saying to you now.
Pray in response to this God who is the Judge of all
O LORD, hear our evening prayers as this day closes
As we return our thanks to You.
As we humbly confess our sins
As we lay all we are and have before You
And call out to you for our world
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
On this particular Wednesday…as the nation journeys forward out of this season of Lockdown.. you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus
For family and friends and neighbours
For all who are anxious in our world at this time
For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation
For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision making
You are invited to pause and pray with others at this time in your day.
You are encouraged to pray for the upcoming election…and for Christians at this time who work in politics, the civil service and the judiciary system
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people; for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet and peaceful life with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct. This is good and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to know the truth. For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself to redeem the whole human race. That was the proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved.
1 Timothy 2 verses 1-6
