Daily Devotions for 1st January, 2019

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God
Reading : GENESIS 1 verses 26-31

Meditation : consider all that happens here and all that God says… at the start of your day.
Why was God so pleased? What is God saying to you from His Word today?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to wait before God
Asking Him what pleases Him – or not – in your life at this time

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 Genesis 1
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes
LORD God, our Creator God,
For all of your creation I have seen 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.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Journeying with God in the Daily Devotions

As we journey from 2018 into 2019 you are invited to join us on our daily pilgrimage with our God.

During 2019 we will be 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.

** There will be a call to Midday Prayer and Evening Prayer at various times during the week as we travel through the year. We started this during Advent and many have responded and been encouraged to pause and pray briefly at these times with others. **

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….will you join with us?

Daily Devotions for January 2019

‘Love the LORD your God with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your strength.’
Deuteronomy 6 verse 5

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 January

O God
Of Adam and Eve
Of Abraham and Isaac
We believe in You
We trust in You
We seek to please You
Help us
Forgive us
Bless us
Lead 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
