Daily Devotions for FEBRUARY 2019

‘Jacob woke up and said, “The LORD is here!
He is in this place, and I didn’t know it!.” Genesis 28 verse 16

During 2019 we are looking at various Bible characters and their relationship with God, and with each other – as well as a couple of Psalms each weekend – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time of the year.
We journey with Jacob and Joseph this month.

** There will be a call to Midday and Evening Prayer at various times during each week **

We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we start together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2019.

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 February

O God
Of Jacob
Of Joseph and Judah
We believe in You
We trust in You
We seek to please You
In our family life
In our Church family
Forgive us
Bless us
Lead us
Help us
Use us
Surprise us
This month
This year
In Jesus’ name
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

Daily Devotions for 31st January, 2019

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : GENESIS 26 verses 26-33

Meditation : take time and consider these words this morning.
What do they say to you today about relationships?

Then pray in response – as your day starts

(Pray your own words to the LORD God
In worship and thanks for what you have read,
In confession and need to be more like Jesus,
And to speak up for Him – even today while there is time.)

O LORD, receive our praise and hear our prayers
As we give thanks to you
For all those we will share today with
And as we seek to lead others to Jesus in this world.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Kirkgate Cafe
God of grace…hear our prayers and pour a blessing we ask on each and all

Evening
Reading : read these set verses again
Reflect on the words and images – at the end of your day
and Pray in response to this God – our God
O LORD, hear our evening prayers
As we look upward and forward.
As we thank you for those we have spent today with
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
