Daily Devotions for JUNE 2022

What, then, shall we say in response to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8 verse 31

During 2022 we are looking daily at the theme of GOOD NEWS as we journey with Paul through his letter to the ROMANS – and pausing at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world.

In June, as we journey on from Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture and Pentecost, we dig deeper into some of the individual verses in ROMANS 8 and the wonderful truths behind the words!

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

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 June

O God of Pentecostal giving
Pour out you Holy Spirit
Afresh on us
Your children

O God of Romans 8
You have given us
So much
In Christ Jesus

O God of the future
Sustain us
Lead us
Bless us

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

Our Journey – Thy Kingdom Come

As we journey through the global prayer adventure of Thy Kingdom Come, until Pentecost Sunday 5th June, are you travelling with us?

At 8am each morning – a short daily reflection from members of our Prayer Ministry Team – on our YouTube channel, website and social media pages – on 11 various themes!

At 9am each morning – we have been invited to pause and pray for 5 friends, family, neighbours, colleagues to meet with Jesus and know God for themselves.

At 12 midday – we pause and listen/watch to the daily reflection from TKC – if you haven’t seen it already that day.
As well as the main videos there are videos for youth – and there are the Cheeky Pandas for young children!!

At 7pm each evening – we are invited to pause and consider the Prayer Journal page for that day.

At 9pm each evening – we pause and pray with others.

This Tuesday evening we gather in the Kirk to pray together….’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’
You are very welcome to join us 7.30-8.30pm

Maybe one or more will work for you each day.
Maybe not.
Don’t worry if not or you have other commitments….or other times suit you better.
God in His Kingdom ways understands!

From Thy Kingdom Come, as part of the commissioning…..
‘This Thursday marks the first of eleven days of Thy Kingdom Come from Ascension Day to Pentecost Sunday. Each year we are invited to join with tens of millions of Christians around the world, and across all denominations in praying specifically for five people we know personally to come to know more of God’s love in Jesus Christ, and to pray that the Holy Spirit will empower us to boldly witness to them of the love, hope and salvation we enjoy.

As we wait in silence,
make us ready for Your coming Spirit.

As we listen to Your word,
make us ready for Your coming Spirit.

As we worship You in majesty,
make us ready for Your coming Spirit.

As we long for Your refreshing,
make us ready for Your coming Spirit.

As we long for Your renewing,
make us ready for Your coming Spirit.

Lord, bless Your world
All And fill us with Your Spirit
Merciful Father,
All accept these prayers for the sake of Your Son,
our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen‘
