Time-Out Tuesday Pathway of Peace
As we step into these early days of July 2024….and reflect on God’s walk with us…
At Liberton Kirk 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. However, the Upper Room is having a break until the 2nd Tuesday in August.
You are however invited to walk the Peace Pathway around the Kirkyard in July and August…taking time-out with God as you walk…..and also to visit the Offering House – beside the gates – 8am-8pm each day – where you can find more information and helpful leaflets and booklets about our faith and our Kirk. There is also a Prayer Request Box situated here for you to leave your own personal requests – our Prayer Team will prayerfully support those you name. The COVID-19 memorial is now in place, beside the Cairn, and you may want to visit and pause there.
You are also encouraged 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.
The Daily Devotions have been taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word – 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 this part of the Bible. During July our focus is on the book of Proverbs and some Psalms. 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 the Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture daily reflections on our YouTube channel….from members of our Church Family providing a Sunday reflection over the 11 days period. This year the venture ran 9-19 May. Will you still be praying for 5??
May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we continue to journey through 2024.

A Psalm of praise!

O LORD our God
Teach us how

Reflect on these words of praise and then Pray in response at the end of your day
O LORD, our Great Hope,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you
For who you are

As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To live and speak and sing out of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen!

Prayerfully consider these words
Which ones stay with you as your day starts?

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

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
Evening
Reading : read the verses again from PSALM 84
Reflect on the truths behind the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
For yourself and for others in need of rest and peace
Examine me, O God, and know my mind;
test me, and discover my thoughts.
Find out if there is any evil in me
and guide me in the everlasting way
As I rest in you, my LORD God
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
