Daily Devotions for Tuesday 1st June, 2021

Upper Room day – time out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Father God

Reading : ISAIAH chapter 6

Meditation : consider all that is said here about God, the Holy One…
What words stay with you? What is God saying to you from His Word?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to wait before this God, our God

Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons,
Blessed Trinity!

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from ISAIAH 6
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God Almighty!
Late in the evening
Our song shall still rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy,
Merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons,
Blessed Trinity!

An Invitation or Two

You are invited to the Upper Room….and to take a walk…..

As a Church we usually set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out in our busy days. This is a safe place, and COVID-19 guidelines are carefully followed.

* A space to be still in a busy world – in the room above the Kirkgate Cafe 7.30am-7.30pm
** Private prayer for yourself and for others – come and go as you wish
* Listening to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit
** Opportunities to pause and pray with others at 8am…12 midday…7pm

You are invited to take a walk…
We would invite you to take a walk around the Kirkyard and consider what God is saying to you at this time from the words displayed at various locations….starting at the Offering House.
You are invited to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive.
