ThyKingdomCome #Sorry

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 – our prayers of confession
For actions and words and thoughts done and said – or not
And to receive His forgiveness and cleansing – from the inside out

O LORD
Our God
God of grace and mercy
We pause in Your Presence this morning
and lay ourselves before You.
Forgive we call out
Cleanse we ask
Make us more like Jesus we pray!

In Jesus’ saving name
Amen!
