A Call to Evening Prayer

As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.

We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.

At this time in your Wednesday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes.

You may wish to revisit PSALM 33.20 and consider the LORD my Shield.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your own Midday Prayer

Heavenly Father — You know us better than we know ourselves.
We are conscious of our own limitations, and the weakness of our faith and witness.
Give us your Strength and Power –
show us how to find the right way – in the footsteps of your Son.
Let the re-assurance of your forgiveness be with us always.
We think of your promises given to your people over the ages — to Abraham — to David –
to Solomon — to the Virgin Mary — to the Apostles and Saints– and to us in our generation.
Help us to live out these Promises, with the help of your Holy Spirit.
Enable us to follow in the path of our Saviour, your Son Jesus Christ.
Make us more fully able to love You, to love our neighbours, and to love ourselves in due measure.
Give life in all its fullness, to our communities and to us,
so that in this way we may be agents in the advancement of your Kirk, in our World.
AMEN

Evening
Reading : read this verse again from Psalm 119
Reflect on the words spoken here and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, our Rock, our Creator, our King,
We bring our evening sacrifice of praise to you.
As we return our thanks to you
As we acknowledge You our Saviour and Help even this day.
As we pray for all corners of our world
To know of Jesus – pandemic or not!
In His saving name, Amen.
