LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are

May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotions for JANUARY 2022

From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus and an apostle chosen and called by God to preach his Good News.
Romans 1 verse 1

During 2022 we will be looking daily at the theme of GOOD NEWS as we journey with Paul through his letter to the ROMANS – and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.

We will also focus on ISAIAH in the Summer weeks and make time for Lent, Easter, Thy Kingdom Come, Advent and Christmas 2022!

It is all about JESUS in 2022!

So take time…make time…and chew over God’s written Word with Him as we consider God’s Good News with Paul and the Romans. We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ through this coming year.

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.

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

A Prayer for the Month of JANUARY

Thank you our God
For sending Jesus
The Good News
In our world

Thank you Jesus
That you came
From heaven to earth
As our Good News

Holy Spirit
Inspire us
Enable us
To share this Good News

In our street
In Liberton
In Scotland
In our world

In Jesus’ name
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
