Daily Devotions for 5th September, 2018

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God

Reading : MATTHEW 6 verses 5-15

Which words are you drawn to? What do they teach you?
What is your response to God our Father today?

Then take time to Pray to the One who spoke these words

I read these words,
Teach me what they mean for me this day
And how I should then be praying
To please your Father, my Father God
Even this day.
Amen I pray.

(See in the magazine or online under the Prayer tab on LK website)
God of grace and mercy…and hope, hear our prayers.

Evening

Reflect ….look again at verse 10….. and pray with Father God at the end of your day
Amen and Amen we pray, O Lord our God.

ThyKingdomCome #Sorry

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the 11 themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – our prayers of confession
For actions and words and thoughts done and said – or not
And to receive His forgiveness and cleansing – from the inside out

O LORD
Our God
God of grace and mercy
We pause in Your Presence this morning
and lay ourselves before You.
Forgive we call out
Cleanse we ask
Make us more like Jesus we pray!

In Jesus’ saving name
Amen!

Daily Devotions for September 2018

‘I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit,
the kind of fruit that endures.’ John 15 verse 16

In September we take the time each day to spend with God and His Word as we conclude the Sunday series Fruitfulness on the Frontline and start the Big ALPHA venture – pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others
in our church family, our city and our world at this time of the year.
The Sunday devotion also includes a new element – a Celtic liturgy prayer from a book by Pat Robson called A Celtic Liturgy.
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice as we continue together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2018.

These Devotions are but one way to feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday, in the evening… to pray with Him continually through the day and even to share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover.
The Church website and Facebook page (even on a handy mobile) provide a fuller daily devotional page. However it all follows the pattern below which the information provided fits into, based on the Kirk’s origins of the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions which we started as a church family in 2015.

Morning
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response
Midday
Prayer – mostly for others
Evening
Verse(s) from the morning reading
Reflection and Prayer at the end of the day

A Prayer for the Month of September

Lord Jesus
As we hear You
May we obey You
As we see You
May we follow You

Lord Jesus
As You call us
May we obey You
As you teach us
May we follow You

Lord Jesus
As others seek You
May they find You
As others trust You
May they follow You

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

Daily Devotions for Friday 31st August, 2018

And so we come to the final chapters of the Bible….

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : REVELATION chapters 21 and 22

Meditation : take time to consider all that is said here at the close of the Bible.
Which words or images stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?
What is your response to Him?

Pray to this LORD our God in response to what you have read
Look again at verses 20 and 21 of chapter 22

O Living LORD,
I read these words.
Oh help me believe
And trust in You
And all that is to come!
Help me see you resplendent and majestic!
Keep my gaze upwards and forwards!!
Amen – we pray together.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on a funeral parlour near your home
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them real good we ask

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from Revelation
Reflect on this God and pray in response to Him
Living Lord, hear our evening prayers and receive our praise
At the end of this study
At the end of this month
Lift our eyes ever heavenward!
Tonight, tomorrow and until You come!
Amen and Amen and Amen!
