Thy Kingdom Come #silence

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 SILENCE as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to pause and take time with the LORD our God on this particular Saturday of the new year.

To ask…..seek…..knock…..wait…..listen…..receive from Him.

Daily Devotions for Saturday 16th January, 2021

Focus Day at LK

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : ISAIAH 6 verses 1-13

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
The LORD Almighty is Holy.
What encourages and challenges you today?
What is God saying to you from His Word?

And then Pray in response – looking again at verses 5-7

O LORD Almighty
Holy, Holy, Holy
Hear my morning prayer
And have mercy
As I lay myself
And this day
Before you
In Jesus’ name.
Amen


Midday

Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer

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 these verses again from ISAIAH 6 at the end of your day
Reflect on these words as you look back over the day and then Pray in response

LORD God, our Holy God, hear our prayers this evening
As we return our sacrifice of praise to You
And trust you for tomorrow
Have mercy on those we name before you
And on our world at this time
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
