Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : PSALM 10 verses 16-18

Meditation : take time to consider these words this morning.
The LORD is King.
What do these words mean for you in your life?

Including for the fatherless and the oppressed in our world.

O Lord, hear our prayers and bless each and all real good we ask.

As we return our thanks to You for watching over us
And bless all those we name before you.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Daily Devotions for JULY 2020

“The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.’”
Psalm 23 verse 1

During 2020 we have been looking at standing on the promises of God – as well as dipping into a Psalm most weekends – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time.

In July we take the time each day to consider words from the PSALMS – including the verses of Psalm 23 each weekend.

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

Loving Father,
We face a wide river and we long to reach the other side;
And we must use the stepping stones offered to us.
You say, ’When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
When you pass through rivers, they will not sweep over you’.
Our trust is in you, O Lord.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

(Isaiah 43.2)

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
