Daily Devotions for Sunday 8th December, 2019

Second Sunday of Advent

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit, on this Sunday

Reading : ISAIAH 9 verse 6
‘Wonderful Counsellor’

Meditation : take time to consider these particular two words this morning.
What do they mean for you at this time?

Pray in response to what you have read and considered

In Jesus’ name
Today this is my prayer
For I believe and trust in Him
Amen.

Midday
Pray for a church near your home to know Sunday blessings
O LORD God, hear and answer our prayers.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Evening
Reading : read these 2 set words again as your day ends
Reflect on the truths beyond the words and then Pray to this God …our God
Including for others known to you in need at this time
O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear our evening prayers
As we praise You for who You are
As we return our thanks to you for the blessings of this day.
As we name others in need before You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #sorry

As a church family at Liberton Kirk we have been revisiting the 11 themes from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier in the year. We are pausing to do so together on a Saturday morning.

This morning we are invited to pause and pray…with confession…as we say sorry to Father God.

Take time with Him

As you look back over the week

As you consider others in your life

As you ponder your relationship with Him at this time
