Daily Devotions for August 2018

‘Your word, O LORD, will last for ever; it is eternal in heaven.’
Psalm 119 verse 89

As the summer months approach and the season of Looking INWARD together moves toward Looking OUTWARD this Autumn, so we are travelling through the Bible in June, July and August – (yes from Genesis to Revelation!) – and pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world.
Please do remember to keep BIG ALPHA on your prayer list as we move together towards this venture in the Autumn…. the weeks are counting down now to the Taster Evening at the end of August!

We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice as we continue together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2018.

A Prayer for the Month of August

Spirit of God
Continue
To Speak
To us
To teach us
To lead us
From the Bible
That we might
Keep in step with You
And
Know God better
Love Him more
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
