Daily Devotions for Wednesday 6th July, 2022
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : ISAIAH chapter 6
Meditation : consider this chapter this morning.
Isaiah in the Temple.
Holy, Holy, Holy.
What is God saying to you today about Himself as your day starts?
Is there a response God is asking of you?
And then pray in response – to this God of ours
Looking again at verses 5-8 as you turn to prayer
O LORD our God,
Holy, Holy, Holy.
We pause in Your presence.
We bow before You
We confess to You
We live to serve You
Where You send us
Hear our morning prayers
In Jesus’ name,
Amen and amen
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on your neighbours
Name them one by one before God
LORD, hear our prayers and give blessing real good we ask.
Evening
Reading : read these set verses again from ISAIAH chapter 6
Humbly reflect on what you read and then pray in response –
for yourself and for others seeking God’s presence at this time
LORD God, Holy God,
Hear our many different prayers
As we thank you for your call on our lives
And for the blessings of this day
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Tuesday Evening Prayer with Others
Tuesday Midday Prayer with Others
On this first Tuesday in July you are invited to pause and pray with others.
We use the Midday Prayers from the Northumbrian Community.
P-ause with God
R-ejoice in His blessings given
A-sk for those on our church family prayer list and the needs of our world at this time – especially in Ukraine and Russia
Y-ield to His Kingdom ways
Summer Tuesdays
As July has arrived…
As a Church we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in our busy days above the Kirkgate Cafe. This is a safe place for you to be.
As we journey through 2022, in this summer break, the Upper Room will not be open this Tuesday…but you are encouraged to take time-out with God at some point…
You may therefore find a quiet place a help…..
* A space for yourself to be still in a busy world
** To pause and pray with God – the God of all comfort, wisdom, mercy and hope
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these times
You are invited to visit the Peace Pathway as you walk the grounds around the Kirk building whatever day of the week you choose 8am – 8pm – there are several helpful reflections and prayers – starting at the Offering House.
You are also invited to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree – weather permitting) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive.
You are also reminded of the Prayer Wall available on the Kirk website under the Prayer tab – a place you can bring your prayers – and ask for prayer from the Prayer Team if appropriate. At this time of war in Ukraine you may want to add your own prayer for our world at this time.
The Daily Devotions are taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word in the book of ROMANS during 2022 – and you may want to pause to pray with others at the start of each day as we consider the truths behind the words of ISAIAH for the summer weeks of July and August. This is available on the Kirk website blog and our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter from 7am- and in the church magazine.
And – don’t forget the brief Sunday morning Reflection at 8am…….and you can still revisit Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture daily reflections on our YouTube channel…..from our Prayer Ministry Team providing a reflection over the recent 11 days
May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we journey through these refreshing days of Summer 2022.
Daily Devotions for Tuesday 5th July, 2022
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God
Reading : ISAIAH 5 verses 1-7
Meditation : as we pause with God we consider this song at the start of the day.
What are the words of your song at this time?
Who are you concerned about?
And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to thank God for His blessings in your life
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life.
O help and guide and bless those I name before you
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.
Evening
Reading : read the verses again from ISAIAH 5 verses 1-7
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes
LORD God, our great God,
Thank you for being there with me
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
