Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the LORD God, the Eternal One

Reading : ISAIAH chapter 42

Meditation : take time to consider this chapter today.
The Servant of the LORD.
A song of Praise to the LORD.
Israel’s sin.
What is God saying to you today?

Then take time to pause and Pray in response
What is in your song of praise this morning?

LORD God,
Thank you for sending Jesus
As we offer our sacrifice of praise to you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O LORD, hear our prayers at this time of day and have mercy we ask.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from Isaiah 42

O Living and Loving God, hear our evening prayers
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sinned against us even today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for July 2019

‘The faithful love of the LORD never ends!
His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.’
Lamentations 3 vs 22-23

During 2019 we are looking at various Bible characters and their relationship with God, and with each other – as well as a couple of Psalms each weekend – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time of the year.

In May we continue to journey with Isaiah and welcome Jeremiah and Ezekiel alongside our times of prayer and devotion. We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we start together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2019.

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.

A Prayer for the Month of July
O God
Of Isaiah
Jeremiah and Ezekiel
We believe in You
We trust in You
We seek to please You
O Help us
Forgive us
Guide us
Use us
Surprise us
Even in this summer season
As we seek to see
Thy Kingdom Come
In our lives
In Jesus’ name
Amen

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
