‘O LORD, I have heard of what you have done, and I am filled with awe. Now do again in our times the great deeds you used to do.’’ Habakkuk 3 verse 2

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.
In August we journey with Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Habakkuk and others – what a group of men!!
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey 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.

A Prayer for the Month of August
O God
Of Daniel
And the Prophets
We believe in You
We trust in You
We seek to please You
O Help us
Forgive us
Guide us
Use us
Surprise us
As we seek to see
Thy Kingdom Come afresh
In our families
In our land
In your Church
This month
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
