As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the youth videos.
This week it is HELP – as we are encouraged to ask for God’s help in our lives and in the lives of others

And then pray in response to the LORD our God
As we yield to His Kingdom ways
O LORD our God,
Good and majestic One,

Great and so worthy of praise.

A sk for His help – for yourself and for a situation/person known to you at this time

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer
As we yield to God’s Kingdom ways
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
Evening
Reading : read REVELATION 4 again
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer
LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are
For your help and protection even today
And as we give it all back to you
May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
