Rhythm of Time-Out in August

As a Church we set aside a Tuesday each week and provided a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. However in these times sadly it is not possible to open and run this space….for now….

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 AUGUST 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 our times.

You are encouraged to visit the PATHWAY of PEACE around the Kirkyard which is open 8am-8pm during August and visit the prayer stations as you walk and think and reflect and pray in these days.

You are encouraged to journey onwards and upwards with your rhythm of prayer and devotion – on your own and with others.

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 the Church of Scotland Week of prayer for Church and Country.

You are invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through this last week in August 2020 together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these particular days.

Daily Devotions for Tuesday 11th August, 2020

Upper Room day – time-out with God

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

Reading : PSALM 105 verses 1-7

Meditation : take time and consider these verses this morning.
God and His People
Which words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today about Himself and what is your response?

Take time to Pray in response
including for others known to you at this time in our Church Family

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 for what you are saying to me at this time

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from PSALM 105

Reflect…. and then Pray as your day closes

God of Abraham and Jacob and the God of today,
My God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
As we journey from today to tomorrow
Lead us
Guide us
Bless us
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
