Daily Devotions for JUNE 2020
‘Do not quench the Spirit.’
1 Thessalonians 5 verse 19
During 2020 we are looking at standing on the promises of God – as well as dipping into Psalm 119 some weekends – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world in this uncertain year.
In June we consider the Person and promises of the Spirit as well as dipping into the book of Revelation each weekend.
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 2020.
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.
Morning
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response

Verse(s) from the morning reading
Reflection and Prayer at the end of the day
A Prayer for the Month of June
Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
You are a most precious gift, the breath of the living God.
You bring certainty to my trembling uncertainties, focus to my disorientation.
You bring companionship in my loneliness, comfort in my sadness,
strength for my weakness, courage for my fearfulness, hope in my despair.
Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
You have the power to change my mundane into your special,
the power to lift my earthbound self to your glory,
the power to change my monochrome to glorious technicolour,
the power to make me, even me, your light in the world.
Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
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
