Time Out Tuesday with Jesus

On Sunday morning in the Daily Reflection John reminded us to take time with Jesus..as he spoke of the tale of two sisters.

As a Church we set aside a Tuesday each week and provide a place with space – the UPPER ROOM – a place for time-out. In the early weeks and months of lockdown it was not possible to open and run this space…but it is now still available for one and all…whether you belong to Liberton Kirk or not.

You are invited to come….perhaps for the first time…..

* A place with space in a busy world
** For time-out in these days
* Private prayer or with others
** With Jesus

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 at work

You are invited to pause regularly at some time during the day 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.

The PATHWAY of PEACE around the Kirkyard is now closed but you can still walk around the Kirk 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 around.

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.

We are all invited to pray with others in our Church family as we journey through the latter weeks of 2020 together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these particular days.

Upper Room day – time out with God

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

Reading : GENESIS 17 verse 1

Meditation : consider what is said here… at the start of your day.
El Shaddai. God Almighty.
What does this mean for your relationship with God?.

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time with God Almighty
Invite the Holy Spirit to help you this day

Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I have read these words
And now I pray for you to work them out
as a living reality in my life – even today
Help me trust and believe in you
God Almighty
Even today
In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Midday
Take time to listen for God to speak with you at this time of the day
…..and respond to His voice….
Father God…thank you.

Evening
Reading : read the verse again from the start of GENESIS 17
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
God Almighty
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 mighty name
As I wait for tomorrow.
As I look around at this world
In these days.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time-Out Tuesday with God
