Daily Devotions for Tuesday 28th April, 2020

Upper Room day – time out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

Reading : JOHN 20 verses 19-23

Meditation : take time and consider these few verses this morning.
Which words stay with you?
What are you encouraged and challenged by today?

Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to pause and listen for God’s answer to you

O Lord
Speak to us
Speak to me
By name
And help me hear
What the Spirit is saying in these days
To me
To my family
To my Church
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask, seek, knock….hear!
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from JOHN 20
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray….to the LORD our God

O God, our God,
We bring our evening worship to you
As we lay ourselves and our families before you
As we acknowledge what you are saying to us at this time
In Jesus’ name.
Amen and Amen.

Tuesday

Time-out Tuesday and Evening Gathering for Prayer

As a Church we have set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM.
However in these times sadly it is not possible to open and run this space.

But…our Tuesdays can still be an opportunity for time out…..with God

You are invited to pause at some time in your Tuesday and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are encouraged to speak with Him…to listen to Him…to receive from Him…

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm.
We are also encouraged to pray the Lord’s Prayer with others in our city and across our land at 5pm.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this week together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these days…. And so for this reason we will still be gathering together for Prayer in the evening…..but via Zoom.
It will be different.
But God is the same.
It will be strange in many ways.
But God is waiting to hear our prayers.

So you are encouraged to be part of this short time together…Tuesday evening at 7.30…..when we will be giving thanks, praying for our world, our country, our Church and for each other…….in spoken and unspoken prayer.

If you have not received the link for this Zoom meeting, please do contact Gary Ross, John or Alastair.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : JOHN 20 verses 10-18

Meditation : take time to consider these words as your day starts.
What do they mean to you?
What is your response to these verses in these times?

Then Pray with honesty in response to the LORD our God

(Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and thanksgiving
Of confession and trust
For our nation
For our world)

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the materials in Perspex boxes at our LK gates
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.

Evening

Eternal and Faithful One, hear my evening prayers
As I lay myself and this world before you at the end of today
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
