Time out Tuesday

It was indeed an unusual Holy Week.

Yet our God is Loving, Faithful and only a prayer away – as we journey through this week after Easter!

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

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

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….

Daily Devotions for April 13th, 2020

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

Reading : HEBREWS 10 verses 35-39

Meditation : take the time to consider this passage…words about persevering.
What is God saying to you this morning?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Pray in response – to our God , the God who does not delay
Looking again at verses 37 and 38

(Pray your own words at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need)

And then together…

O LORD our God,
Hear our prayers this day
As we lay ourselves before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessings on those who are still working near the Kirk
O LORD, have mercy on all we call out and pour rich blessings!

Evening
Reading : read the passage again prayerfully at the end of your day
Reflect….. and then pray to God in response

Father God, Eternal God,
hear my prayer this evening.
As I humbly name others before you.
As I call out to you for others in this uncertain time
As I lay myself and this world before you
In Jesus’ name. Amen

.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : HEBREWS 10 verses 19-25

Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.

Midday
Pray the words of the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday 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

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from HEBREWS 10
Reflect on all that is said here in this passage and then Pray in response to this God of ours

O LORD,
hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our Easter Sunday
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!
