Daily Devotions for Saturday 4th August, 2018

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus.
Reading : JOHN chapters 20 and 21

Meditation : take time to consider these words afresh this Saturday morning.
What images or words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?

Pray in response to Him…our Risen Lord!

O Jesus
Our Risen Lord,
Thank you for what we read
And all you say here.
Hear our prayers
And come to us this day anew we ask
In resurrection life and power!
Amen.

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday prayer
(See Matthew 6 or online under the Prayer tab on LK website)
Father God of grace and mercy, hear our prayers.


Evening
Reading : read these chapters again
Reflect prayerfully on the words and images ….. and then Pray in response
Especially for others who feel lost and let down, in need of being restored
Spirit of the Living God, hear our evening prayers at the end of this day
And be with those we name before you.
In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for August 2018

‘Your word, O LORD, will last for ever; it is eternal in heaven.’
Psalm 119 verse 89

As the summer months approach and the season of Looking INWARD together moves toward Looking OUTWARD this Autumn, so we are travelling through the Bible in June, July and August – (yes from Genesis to Revelation!) – and pausing in prayer at our times of Midday Devotion for others in our church family, our city and our world.
Please do remember to keep BIG ALPHA on your prayer list as we move together towards this venture in the Autumn…. the weeks are counting down now to the Taster Evening at the end of August!

We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice as we continue together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during 2018.

A Prayer for the Month of August

Spirit of God
Continue
To Speak
To us
To teach us
To lead us
From the Bible
That we might
Keep in step with You
And
Know God better
Love Him more
In Jesus’ name
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

#Silence ThyKingdomCome

In our land and across our world during the 10 days in May leading to Pentecost believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are re-visiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and to be still – listening.

Please take a few minutes with God – when you are able now or during the day – to be still in a time of silence.

Listen.

Expect.

Receive.

Celebrate #ThyKingdomCome

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there are 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers and songs of celebration – for who He is as our Creator and Father and in particular for all He has done for us and given in Christ Jesus!

Please take a few minutes to celebrate God’s goodness and grace to you this morning.
Celebrate a gift He has recently given to you!
Pray that when we gather together as a Church family we will experience and evidence His kingdom blessings!

O Father God
Thank You
Thank You
Thank You!
In Jesus’ name
Amen!em>
