As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.
We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.
At this time in your Saturday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes and as you step into Sunday.
You may wish to revisit PSALM 119.143 and consider these words.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.
At this time in your Saturday and in these changing times you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus
For family and friends and neighbours
For those anxious about Christmas plans
For NHS and Care Home staff in our city
For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision
As part of God’s Church we participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year. This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago now!
Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.
This week we focus on the theme of THANKS as we pause to pray with others.
We are encouraged to take time to bring our words of thanks to the LORD our God
We thank Him for His love and faithfulness.
We thank Him for His good gifts this past week.
We thank Him for Jesus…who came from heaven to earth.
In Jesus’ name….Amen and Amen!
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : PSALM 119 verse 143
Meditation : take the time to consider these words this Saturday morning.
What are you encouraged and challenged by?
Which words stay with you as your day starts?
And then take time to Pray in response to this God
Make these written words your own
Amen we pray in praise together this new day.
Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday 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
Evening
Reading : read the verse again from Psalm 119
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read
LORD God, our God, hear our evening prayers.
As we worship you for who you are
As we thank you for your help this day
And name others before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
