#niteblessing
As a Church we recently took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost.
Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.
This week we focus on the theme of SORRY as we pause to pray.
Take time with Father God.
Say sorry.
Confess.
Receive His forgiveness and amazing grace.
And smile again….
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : REVELATION 3 verses 7-13
Meditation : take time to consider this part of the Bible.
The message to the Church in Philadelphia.
What are you encouraged and challenged by?
Which part of the message stays with you?
And then take time to Pray in response to this God
For yourself
For your church
For the Church in our land
Amen we pray in praise together this new day.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer
Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
You are a most precious gift, the breath of the living God.
You bring certainty to my trembling uncertainties, focus to my disorientation.
You bring companionship in my loneliness, comfort in my sadness,
strength for my weakness, courage for my fearfulness, hope in my despair.
Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
You have the power to change my mundane into your special,
the power to lift my earthbound self to your glory,
the power to change my monochrome to glorious technicolour,
the power to make me, even me, your light in the world.
Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
Amen.

As we pause in your presence
As we worship you for who you are
As we thank you for your help this day
And name others before you
