ThyKingdomCome #Thanks

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – our prayers of thanks
For God’s amazing love and grace in Christ Jesus
For all the blessings of this week

O LORD
Our God
We bring to You
our prayers of thanksgiving
For Your wonderful love and amazing grace
For all Your gifts and blessings
and especially for….

In Jesus’ name
Amen!
