As we journey through this week – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from ROMANS 8 verse 17 – as we continue to consider the GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2022
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes
We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day – to us and to others
We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our world at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
Upper Room day – time-out with God
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God
Reading : ROMANS 8 verse 17
Meditation : consider this one verse as your day starts.
Blessings.
Sharing in Christ’s sufferings….and His glory.
What do these words mean for you in your life at this time?
Take time to Pray in response to the LORD our God
Resting in Him as you step into this day
In Jesus’ Name
Amen.
Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
‘Thy Kingdom come’ Father God
LORD our God…thank you.
Evening
Reading : read the words again from ROMANS 8 verse 17
Reflect on the truths written…. And then pray to this God in response
Lord Jesus, Son of God, Giver of rest,
Hear our evening prayers,
As we return our thanks to you.
As we look back on our day
As we trust you for tomorrow
As we now rest in You this evening
Amen and Amen.
As we step into a new week – with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from ROMANS 8 verse 15 – as we continue to consider the GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2022
We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as the day closes
We REJOICE in the blessings He has given this day – to us and to others
We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our world at this time
We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for tomorrow
As a Church we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in our busy days above the Kirkgate Cafe. This is a safe place for you to be.
As we journey further into 2022, the Upper Room will be open this Tuesday 7.30am-7.30pm – and perhaps this will be a place for you to visit – as a place to pause and pray in particular this week for the Kingdom of God to come on earth as it is in heaven. Ukraine and Yemen and many other parts of our world are indeed in need at this time.
You may therefore find the Upper Room a help…..
* To find a quiet space for yourself to be still in a busy world
** To pause and pray with God – the God of all comfort, wisdom, mercy and hope
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these times
There will be opportunities to pause and pray with others – at 8am – 12 noon – 7.30pm – and those who gather will be glad to share these with you as we turn in prayer with others.
You are invited to visit the Word for Today as you walk the grounds around the Kirk building whatever day of the week you choose – the focus these days is on the theme of ‘Sinking in the Storm’ – the story of Jesus and Peter from Matthew 14 and there are helpful reflections and prayers – starting at the Offering House.
You are also invited to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree – weather permitting) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive.
You are also reminded of the Prayer Wall available on the Kirk website under the Prayer tab – a place you can bring your prayers – and ask for prayer from the Prayer Team if appropriate. At this time of war in Ukraine you may want to add your own prayer for our world at this time.
The Daily Devotions are taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word in the book of ROMANS during 2022 – and you may want to pause to pray with others at the start of each day as we consider the truths behind the words of chapter 8. This is available on the Kirk website blog and our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter from 7am- and in the church magazine.
And – don’t forget the brief Sunday morning Reflection at 8am…….and you can still revisit Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture daily reflections on our YouTube channel…..from our Prayer Ministry Team providing a reflection over the recent 11 days
May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we journey through these closing days of May 2022.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord
Reading : ROMANS 8 verse 15
Meditation : take time to consider this part of the chapter this morning.
God’s children.
Abba, Father.
What is God teaching/reminding you today from His written Word?
What does it mean for you in your daily living to have God as your Abba, Father?
Pray in response to what you have read
O Father God, our God
Hear our morning prayers we ask
In and through Christ Jesus we pray together, Amen.

On this Sunday…as we step into the new week….You are invited to pause at the close of your day…with God….with others…..and pray
for yourself
for another person
for a particular situation
for our world
giving thanks for the blessings of this day
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy will be done
In Jesus’ name
