Daily Devotions for Sunday 20th December, 2020

Fourth Sunday in Advent

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : REVELATION 1 verses 9-20

Meditation : take time to consider this vision on this Sunday.
The First and the Last.
What words or images stay with you?
What is your response to this vision today?

And then pray in response to this Person

We bow down
And worship
Saying
Hallelujah and Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday 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

Evening
Reading : read these set verses again from REVELATION 1
Reflect on the words and images and then Pray in response at the end of your day

O LORD, Son of Man, the First and the Last,
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 You.
Amen
.

A Call to Sunday 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 Sunday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes.

You may wish to revisit 1 CORINTHIANS 15.1-11 and consider what Paul said here.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day and prepare for a new week ahead.
