Daily Devotions for Tuesday December 1st, 2020

Upper Room day – time out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : DANIEL chapter 12

Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
The Time of the End.
What words stay with you? What is God saying to you from His Word?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to wait before God

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to help me understand them
as a living reality in my life – even today
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life
and beyond!
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from DANIEL 12
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
As I look upward and forward!
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for DECEMBER 2020

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.”
Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.”
Let anyone who is thirsty come.
Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.

Revelation 22 verse 17

During 2020 we are looking at standing on the promises of God – as well as dipping into the Psalms some weekends – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time of the year.

In December we consider standing on the Promises in the Bible of A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.

We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ as this year with a difference of 2020 closes.

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 December

Father God
You are preparing us for the coming of the new Heaven and the new Earth
The old will disappear
The new will come
Alpha and Omega
Beginning and End
You are our God and we are your children
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

A Call to Sunday Evening Prayer

As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.

We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.

At this time in your Sunday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes and you prepare to enter a new week.

You may wish to revisit PSALM 119.169-176 and consider these truths.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.
