Daily Devotions for Tuesday 23rd November, 2021

Upper Room day

Morning

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

Reading : JOHN 14 verses 15-31

Meditation : As we pause with God the Holy Spirit this morning…
We consider these verses and all that Jesus is saying
Who is the Holy Spirit to you?

And we as we turn to Pray..we ask…

Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me

Break me
Melt me

Mould me
Fill me

Use me
Even today

Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me

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 the passage again from JOHN 14
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray….to this God we believe and trust in

Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me

Break me
Melt me

Mould me
Fill me

Use me
Even today

Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me

In Jesus’ name,
Amen
.

Tuesday Time Out

As a Church 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, and COVID-19 guidelines are carefully followed.

As we approach the season of Advent, the Upper Room will be open this Tuesday 7.30am-7.30pm – and perhaps this will be a place for you to visit – for the first time?

* To find space to be still in a busy world
** To pause and pray with God – for yourself and for others at this significant time of the year
* To listen to God – Father Son and Holy Spirit – in these slower days and moments

There will be opportunities to pause and pray with others – at 8am – 12 noon – 7pm – and those who gather will be glad to share these with you.

You are also invited to take a meaningful walk to the Kirk building…….starting at the Offering House….which is open for you to visit….and has an interesting exhibition inside about our Prayer life!
You are invited 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.

You are also reminded of the Prayer Wall available on the Kirk website under the Prayer tab – a place you can bring your prayers – and ask for prayer from the Prayer Team if appropriate. At this time of new coronavirus cases you may want to add your own prayer for our world at this time.

The Daily Devotions are taking us to a daily time of asking with God’s written Word in November – and you may want to pause to pray at the start of each day. 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…
