Thy Kingdom Come #Help

In our land and across our world during the next 10 days believers and followers of Jesus are being invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This is a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there will be 11 posts on our website and social media pages – 10-20 May at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers for His help.strong>

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers this morning – for others – for yourself.
Ask Father God for His help for something specific.
Name before Him someone in need known to you.
Ask for the Spirit to help each of us to speak up for Jesus – before, during and after Big Alpha.

O LORD our God
We are but jars of clay
Help us
Oh help us!
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Pray for Big Alpha

‘Be persistent in prayer, and keep alert as you pray, giving thanks to God. At the same time pray also for us, so that God will give us a good opportunity to preach his message about the secret of Christ. For that is why now I am in prison. Pray, then, that I may speak, as I should, in such a way as to make it clear.
Be wise in the way you act towards those who are not believers, making good use of every opportunity you have. Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting, and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.’

Colossians 4 verses 2-6

O LORD God, have mercy on each and all and hear our prayers.

Father God, hear my evening prayer
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
