As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world as we pray for 5 people we know to meet with Jesus!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is SILENCE
You are invited to be still in God’s presence
You are encouraged to wait and listen and hear from Him
You are invited to Pause – Rejoice – Ask – Yield
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit, on this Sunday
Reading : PSALM 92
Meditation : take time to consider this psalm today.
God is good and great!
Pray in response to what you have read and considered
Give Him your worship and praise!
In Jesus’ name
Today this is my prayer of praise
Amen.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own midday prayer
How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!
How great are your ways, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!
You forgive my sin and cleanse me within
I sing and dance with joy!
You help me and guide me
I sing and dance with joy!

We sing and dance with joy!
Praise the LORD all His creatures
We sing and dance with joy!

Reading : read PSALM 92 again as your day ends
Reflect on the truths beyond the words and then Pray to this God …our God
O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hear our evening prayers
As we praise You for who You are
As we return our thanks to you for the blessings of this day.
As we name others in need before You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As your Saturday closes you are invited to pause and pray with others in our Church Family as we step into Sunday
You may want to revisit the Daily Devotions for today from PSALM 88
You are encouraged to
P ause in God’s presence
R ejoice in the blessings of this day He has given
A sk for His help – for yourself and for another
Y ield to His Kingdom will for tomorrow – say yes!
How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD;
to sing in your honour, O Most High God,
to proclaim your constant love every morning
and your faithfulness every night.
Psalm 92 verses 1 and 2
During 2021 we are looking daily at the theme of PRAYER – and pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time.
* In July and August we are therefore PRAYING THE PSALMS *
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 year of 2021.
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.

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
