A Celtic Prayer
High King of Heaven and Creator of all
We your people confess our weakness before you.
Where you are humble and free of sin – we are proud and sinful.
Where you are strong and firm – we are arrogant and boastful.
Because of our weakness, the world is suffering.
Have mercy O LORD our God
In Jesus’ name we can but ask.
Amen.

ThyKingdomCome #Offer

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the 11 themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – ourselves – and all we are and have
For His Kingdom purposes
For His royal will to be accomplished

O LORD
LORD God
As a response to your amazing grace and loving-kindnesses

I offer
myself
body
mind
and spirit

I offer
my skills
and monies
and possessions

I offer
my time
now
today
tomorrow

To You
so that
Your Kingdom come
Your will is done

In Jesus’ name
Amen!
