Thy Kingdom Come #thanks

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost…..and this year it will happen May 13th-23rd.

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 THANKS as we pause to pray with others in our nation and across the world.

We are encouraged to pause and take time with the LORD our God on this particular Saturday in February 2021.
To Thank Him for who He is – the LORD Almighty – our Father God – Saviour – Helper – the same, yesterday, today and forever – pandemic or not!

To Thank Him for the blessings of this past week

To Thank Him for 3 people you know in your life

To Thank Him for the vaccines being given at this time

Our Father, who art in heaven

And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.

But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
