(from the Northumbrian Community Midday Prayers)
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : PSALM 102
Meditation : consider this prayer this morning.
What is God saying to you today as your day starts?
Is there a response God is asking of you?
And then pray in response – to this God of ours
Looking again at verses 25-27 as you turn to prayer
O LORD our God,
Hear our morning prayers
In Jesus’ name,
Amen and amen!
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on the Bible Society of Burkina Faso
LORD, hear our prayers and give blessing real good we ask.
Evening
Reading : read these set verses again from PSALM 102
Humbly reflect on what you read and then pray in response –
for yourself and for others seeking God’s help at this time
LORD God, Father God, hear our many different prayers
As we thank you for your call on our lives
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD;
to sing in your honour, O Most High God,
to proclaim your constant love every morning
and your faithfulness every night.
Psalm 92 verses 1 and 2
During 2021 we are looking daily at the theme of PRAYER – and pause at our times of Midday Devotion to pray for others in our church family, our city and our world at this time.
* In July and August we are therefore PRAYING THE PSALMS *
We are all encouraged to listen for God’s voice and make our response as we journey together in our ‘rhythm of devotion’ during this year of 2021.
These Devotions are but one way to feed on God’s Word in the morning, at midday, in the evening… to pray with Him continually through the day and even to share with others the treasures or hurdles you discover.
The Church website and Facebook page (even on a handy mobile) provide a fuller daily devotional page. However it all follows the pattern below which the information provided fits into, based on the Kirk’s origins of the Celtic and Northumbrian traditions which we started as a church family in 2015.
Morning
Reading and Meditation on the content and Prayer of response
Midday
Prayer – mostly for others
Evening
Verse(s) from the morning reading
Reflection and Prayer at the end of the day
A Prayer for the Month of AUGUST
How good it is to give thanks to you, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!
How great are your ways, O LORD.
We sing and dance with joy!
You forgive my sin and cleanse me within
I sing and dance with joy!
You help me and guide me
I sing and dance with joy!
Praise the LORD all His people
We sing and dance with joy!
Praise the LORD all His creatures
We sing and dance with joy!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Amen and Amen!
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
