Daily Devotions for January 2020

‘I will remember my promise to you and to all the animals that a flood will never again destroy all living beings… That is the sign of the promise which I am making to all living beings.’’
Genesis 9 verses 15 and 17

During 2020 we are looking at standing on the promises of God – as well as dipping into Psalm 119 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 January and most of February we consider some of the Promises of God in His written Word.

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

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
O Faithful and Living God
Make us a People
Of Promised Land living
We call out

Standing on your promises O LORD
Make us strong
Building on your promises O God
Send us out
Resting in your promises O Lord
Keep us safe

In Jesus’ name
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
