Daily Devotions for Monday 28th June, 2021

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

Reading : HABAKKUK chapter 1

Meditation : take time to consider these honest words of complaint as your day starts.
Do you have a complaint to God at this time?
What is your response to our world in these times?

Then Pray with honesty in response to the LORD our God
Looking again at verse 5

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 John and Lindsay and their family
God of grace and mercy and rich blessing, hear our prayers we ask.

Evening

Reading : read these verses again from Habakkuk 1
Reflect prayerfully on what you read and then pray to our God in response

P ause and wait before God
R ejoice in His goodness to you
A sk
Y ield/Yes to His ways
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for JUNE 2021

O LORD, I have heard of what you have done, and I am filled with awe.
Now do again in our times the great deeds you used to do.
Be merciful, even when you are angry.

Habakkuk 3 verse 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 June as we journey onwards after PENTECOST we consider the theme of THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS + DANIEL *

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.

A Prayer for the Month of June
O God of Isaiah
Holy Holy Holy
Is your name
In our midst

O God of Ezekiel
Spirit at work
All around
In our lives

O God of Jonah
Forgive us
When we your people
Get it wrong

Have mercy
Show compassion
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
