Thy Kingdom Come #adore

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….many months ago now!

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 ADORE as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to take time to bring our words or adoration to the LORD our God on this first Saturday of a new year

Give Him your sacrifice of praise!

O worship the King, all glorious above!

O come let us adore Him – Christ the Lord!

Daily Devotions for Friday 1st January, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the LORD God

Reading : JEREMIAH 33 verse 1

Meditation : take time to carefully consider this one verse today.
There is nowhere God cannot reach us.
How does this encourage or challenge you this morning?
What is your response to God’s Word as you step into today?

Take time out with God in Prayer in response – as God leads you
Including praying for others in hard circumstances

O Father God,
Hear our cry
On this first day of a new year
Be near those we name before you
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on our Church Family as we step into 2021
O LORD God, have mercy on each and all and hear our prayers we ask.

Evening
Reading : read these words again from JEREMIAH 33.1
Reflect ….and then pray….for others as well as yourself

O LORD God, hear our prayers at this evening hour
For we believe and trust in you, the Three in One
As we lay ourselves and others before You in Jesus’ name, Amen.
