Daily Devotions for JUNE 2022

What, then, shall we say in response to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8 verse 31

During 2022 we are 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.

In June, as we journey on from Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture and Pentecost, we dig deeper into some of the individual verses in ROMANS 8 and the wonderful truths behind the words!

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

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 June

O God of Pentecostal giving
Pour out you Holy Spirit
Afresh on us
Your children

O God of Romans 8
You have given us
So much
In Christ Jesus

O God of the future
Sustain us
Lead us
Bless us

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

Daily Devotions for Friday 20th May, 2022

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : ROMANS 7 verses 7 and 8

Meditation : take time and consider all that is said here.
The Law.
What images or words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?

And then pray in response – as your day starts
including for others feeling distant from God at this time

Pray your own honest words to the LORD God.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on refugees and migrants from Somalia
Father God, hear our prayers and bless each and all real good we ask

Evening
Reading : read this short passage again from ROMANS 7
Reflect on the words written here and pray in response to this God we trust in

O LORD, hear our evening prayers
As we return our thanks to you
For those you have brought back home
And for those you are drawing nearer to at this time
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
