Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : GENESIS 1 verse 1 – chapter 2 verse 3
Meditation : consider carefully these opening words of the Bible.
Which words or images stay with you?
What is God saying to you today?

And then Pray in response to our Creator God.

God of Creation
God who speaks
We pause and bow before you.
Thank you for this planet
To enjoy
To look after

Teach us
Help us
Even today
Amen – we pray together

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on gardeners and scientists in our world
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them each and all real good we ask

Reflect slowly on the words you have just read and pray in response to this God
LORD God, hear our evening prayers
As we return our thanks to you.

Daily Devotions for JUNE 2018

‘Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.’
Psalm 119 verse 105

As the summer months approach and the season of Looking INWARD together moves toward Looking OUTWARD this Autumn, we will be travelling through the Bible in June, July and August – from Genesis to Revelation – and pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world. Please do remember to keep BIG ALPHA on your prayer list as we move together towards this venture in the Autumn!
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice as we continue togetherin our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2018….even during these Summer months.

The 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 your 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.

Morning
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response
Midday
Prayer – mostly for others
Evening
Verse(s) from the morning reading
Reflection and Prayer at the end of the day

A Prayer for the Month

A Prayer for the Month of June

Master
Speak
To us
To me
By name
Through Your Word
By the Spirit
That we might
Know You better
Love You more
Follow You closer

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

Pray for Big Alpha

In our work together with God, then, we beg you who have received God’s grace not to let it be wasted. Hear what God says: “When the time came for me to show you favour I heard you; when the day arrived for me to save you, I helped you.” Listen! This is the hour to receive God’s favour; today is the day to be saved!

2 Corinthians 6:1‭-‬2 GNB

Thy Kingdom Come as it is in Heaven

In our land and across our world during the next 10 days believers and followers of Jesus are being invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This is a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there will be 11 posts on our website and social media pages – 10-20 May at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and to pray for His Kingdom to be a reality in our lives – in our church – in our city – in our land – in our world – as it is in heaven.

Please take a few minutes with God – on this Pentecost Sunday – and pause to pray for a Kingdom experience – even today.
Pray to see evidence of His Kingdom rule and blessing in our day.
Pray for His Kingdom will to be done – on earth as it is in heaven.

O LORD our God
Father
Son
Holy Spirit
We call out
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy will be done
Today
Tomorrow
Forever!
