Pause to Pray for Others

On this particular Sunday…as the nation and the world wrestles with the new variant and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern are before us in our nation and our world … you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to continue to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time

For family and friends and neighbours

For the Church in SE Edinburgh to be salt and light in these days

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time

Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.

This prayer continues around the world!
Thy Kingdom Come 2022 prayer venture will be running 26 May – 5 June.

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the children’s videos with the Cheeky Pandas!
This week it is the theme of PRAISE – as we are encouraged to offer our songs of praise and worship!

Daily Devotions for Sunday 23rd January, 2022

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : ROMANS 3 verses 9-20

Meditation : take time and consider this passage this Sunday morning.
What do the words mean for you today?
What is God teaching/reminding you about?

And then pray in response – with honest humility

God of amazing grace
We bow before you
We believe in you
We trust in you
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday 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

Evening
Reading : read these particular verses again from ROMANS 3 verses 9-20
Perhaps in another version?

Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response to this God

O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we confess our sins before you
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
As we pilgrimage on into this new week
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Saturday Evening Prayer with Others

As we step into Sunday – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from ROMANS chapter 3 verses 1-8

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer

We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
