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 Thursday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes.
You may wish to revisit MATTHEW 25.31-46 and consider what Jesus 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.
At this time in your Thursday and in these changing times you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus
For family and friends and neighbours
For all who work in shops across our city
For NHS and Care Home staff in our city
For our country and our national leaders at this time of decision
