#ThyKingdomCome #offer

As part of the follow-up to the recent Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture, today we pause as God’s people and prayerfully consider the theme again of #Offer

Take a few minutes now with Father God to bring Him your weekend prayers of offering- for His service – for serving others – for offering your time and possessions as He wills.   Ask for and receive His sending.   Take time with Him to consider any step forward that needs to be taken as a result – even if serving Him means changing weekend plans.   Pray also for our nation and our world in these days and for a spirit of serving others to be evident – and especially for all those on the StageNSlam team who have offered next week in service for Jesus.

Our Father in heaven, receive our prayers of offering to You, have mercy we call out and hear our prayers this weekend.  May it be Your Kingdom will to bless all who serve and all who come and all that happens next week at StageNSlam. Amen we pray together.
