As we journey from 2021 into 2022 is there a prayer that sums up your journey with God? Is there someone you would like prayer for?
The Prayer Wall on the Kirk website is available for you.
The Prayer Team will see your request and will support you/another in prayer at this time.
You can request for your prayer not to be made public.
You are invited to post a prayer at this significant time of the year – and trust God for His answer and help and blessing.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : JOHN 3 verses 22-36
Meditation : as we pause with Jesus today, we take time to rejoice with Him!
And then we Pray with words of Praise to this God of ours in response
At the close of the year
As we step into 2022
And so we bring our sacrifice of praise to you, our God Most High.
As we thank you for all that is past
And trust you for all that is to come
Amen – we pray together.
Midday
Pray with thanksgiving for all babies born in our community in 2021
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them real good we ask
Evening
Reading : read this passage again from JOHN 3
Reflect on the words written here and pray in response to the LORD our Saviour God
Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, my soul
I will praise him as long as I live;
I will sing to my God all my life.
O hear our evening prayers
As this year closes
As the new year approaches
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
(thank you Church of Scotland for this image)
From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus and an apostle chosen and called by God to preach his Good News.
Romans 1 verse 1
During 2022 we will be 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.
We will also focus on ISAIAH in the Summer weeks and make time for Lent, Easter, Thy Kingdom Come, Advent and Christmas 2022!
It is all about JESUS in 2022!
So take time…make time…and chew over God’s written Word with Him as we consider God’s Good News with Paul and the Romans. We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ through this coming year.
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.
