#ThyKingdomCome #toJesus

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year, we pause as God’s people this weekend and prayerfully consider the theme again of #toJesus

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God , Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and pray with Him, asking for His Kingdom to come in the lives of those known to you – for one and another to come to meet Jesus.

Father God, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in the lives of those we name before You.    In Jesus’ name,  Amen we pray together.
