Upper Room day – time-out with God

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

Reading : MATTHEW 5 verses 1-12

Meditation : take time and consider these verses this morning.
Words from Jesus.
What words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today and what is your response?

Take time to Pray in response – including for others known to you at this time

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask and seek and knock……and hear
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from MATTHEW 5

Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes

God of Kingdom blessing, the God of today,
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we look back on our day
As we journey from today to tomorrow
As we seek Your Kingdom reign in our lives
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

UPPER Room and Kirk Time-Out

As a Church we set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these recent weeks and months sadly it was not possible to open and run this space….BUT IT IS THIS TUESDAY!

You are invited to….

* A place with space
** For time-out
* Private prayer
** With God

Above the Kirkgate Cafe…..7.30am-7.30pm

Opportunites to pray with others will be possible at 8am…12 noon and 7pm

There are guidelines to follow…..including wearing a face covering.

But…..our Tuesdays – and every day – can still be an opportunity for time out…..with God…..where we are at home or work

You are invited to pause regularly at some time during OCTOBER and be still with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

You are encouraged to speak with Him….to listen to Him.…to receive from Him…especially at this time as we seek to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church in these times.

The PATHWAY of PEACE around the Kirk is now closed but you can still walk around the building and as you walk and think and reflect and pray in these days know that God is still walking with you. You will find that there are prompts to consider from the Bible as you prayerfully walk – helpfully provided by Ruth from MATTHEW 6 at this time.

You are invited to share in the Midday Prayers and Evening Prayers that will be posted online at 12noon and 9pm on various days on the Kirk website and on our social media pages. We are also encouraged to pray with others in our city and across our land at 5pm….focussing on all those affected by the coronavirus…..and during this particular week you are invited to join with others and pray for all those affected afresh by the new coronavirus restrictions.

Daily Devotions for Tuesday 6th October, 2020

Upper Room day – time out with God

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

Reading : PSALM 95

Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
The LORD is a Great King.
Which words stay with you?
What is God saying to you from His Word about Himself?

And then Pray these words as your own this morning

Come, let us sing to the LORD!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
For the LORD is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the mightiest mountains.
The sea belongs to him, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land, too.
Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,
for he is our God.
We are the people he watches over,
the flock under his care.

Amen!

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 PSALM 95

Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great King,
For all of today
I thank You,
Even for those things that have caused me fear and concern.
Help me to rest in Your unfailing love and on Your faithful Word
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
For I believe and trust in You
My King and my God.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
