Upper Room day and evening Gathering for Prayer
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus, Saviour and Lord

The LORD says.
A New Covenant.
What words or images stay with you?
What is God promising you today?
Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to pause and listen for God’s answer to you
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of day
Ask, seek, knock….hear!
Father God…thank you.
Evening
Reading : read JEREMIAH chapter 31 verses 31-34 again – in another version?
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray….to the LORD our God
I call to the LORD for help;
I plead with him.
I bring him all my complaints;
I tell him all my troubles.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen and Amen.
As we step into this final week of September 2024….and reflect on God’s walk with us…
At Liberton Kirk 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 above the Kirkgate Cafe. This is a safe place for you to be.
The Upper Room will be open this Tuesday once more – and you are encouraged to take time-out with God…..to find a quiet place with space at this busy time of year…..7.30am-7.00pm……with opportunities to pray with John and others at 8am… Midday and 7pm….
* A space for you to be still in your busy needy world
** To pause and pray with God at this time – the God of all comfort, wisdom, mercy and hope.
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these times
You are invited to gather with others in the Kirk in the evening as we come together for a Gathering for Prayer for Healing – a time to give thanks, to hear personal stories and to receive prayer ministry for yourself or another. 7.30-8.30pm with refreshments available afterwards.
You are also encouraged to visit the Offering House – beside the gates – 8am-5pm each day – where you can find more information and helpful leaflets and booklets about our faith and our Kirk. There is also a Prayer Request Box situated here for you to leave your own personal requests – our Prayer Team will prayerfully support those you name. Have you walked prayerfully around the Kirk building following the Word for Today helpful words for this month? As you do…pray for the building, inside and outside… The COVID-19 memorial is now in place, beside the Cairn, and you may want to visit and pause there.
You are also encouraged to use the bench at the top left of the Kirkyard (under the large tree – weather permitting!) to pause and pray – to be still with God – to ask, seek, knock, wait and receive.
The Daily Devotions have been taking us to a daily time of considering God’s Good News with God’s written Word – and you may want to pause to pray with others at the start of each day as we consider the truths behind the words of this part of the Bible. During September our focus is on the book of JEREMIAH. This is available on the Kirk website blog and our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter from 7am- and in the church magazine.
And – don’t forget the brief Sunday morning Reflection at 8am…….and the Thy Kingdom Come global prayer venture daily reflections on our YouTube channel….from members of our Church Family providing a Sunday reflection over the 11 days period. This year the venture ran 9-19 May. Will you still be praying for 5??
May we each and all experience time-out with the Living and True God – whenever – wherever – as we continue to journey through 2024.
