Upper Room day – time out with God

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

Reading : GENESIS 12 verses 1-9

Meditation : consider all that is said here… at the start of your day.
What words stay with you? What is God saying to you from His Word?
Is there somewhere you go to take time-out with God?

And then Pray in response to what you have read
Taking time to wait before God

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
as I thank you that you are with me
on my journey through life.
In Jesus’ name.
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 GENESIS 12
Reflect prayerfully on these words…. And then pray as your day closes

LORD God, our great God,
Thank you for being there with me
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.
Have mercy O Lord!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Time-out before Christmas

Christmas Day is almost here!
The Kirkyard Nativity scenes are still inviting us to walk around!

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 these busier days. In the early weeks and months of lockdown it was not possible to open and run this space…and sadly it is now once again unavailable for one and all…whether you belong to Liberton Kirk or not.

You are invited however to make time to pause and take time out…for the last time this year…perhaps for the first time…..

* To find a space in a busy world
** For time-out in this Christmas week
* Private prayer for yourself and for others
** With God – Father Son and Holy Spirit

You are invited to pause at some time during this week 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 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 these latter days of 2020 together…..and to listen for what God is saying to us in these changing and uncertain days.
