Thy Kingdom Come #thanks

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last year around the world…and in preparation for May later this year… we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #Thanks

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able – with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and spend time in prayer with Him – giving Him your thanks for what He has done in Christ Jesus for you – and over this past week – and in the lives of others.

LORD God
my God
thank You
for…
and…
and…
and…..!
In and only through Christ Jesus
Amen!
