Daily Devotions for AUGUST 2021

How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD;
to sing in your honour, O Most High God,
to proclaim your constant love every morning
and your faithfulness every night.

Psalm 92 verses 1 and 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 July and August we are therefore PRAYING THE PSALMS *

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.

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 of AUGUST

How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!
How great are your ways, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen and 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

Thy Kingdom Come

As a church family we have been revisiting the 11 themes from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last Pentecost on a Saturday morning as we lead up to the 2020 venture before Pentecost this year…..May 21-31.

This morning we are invited to pause in these uncertain times and be still before God…and pray to Him ‘Thy Kingdom Come’

Take time to focus on His Kingdom Will and Purpose as your Saturday starts

Ask

And expect to see His Kingdom Come, His will being done in these days….
In our lives
In the lives of others we name before Him
In our community
In our Church
In our land
In our world
