Thy Kingdom Come #help

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 HELP 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 Saturday in March 2021 in this season of Lent.

To ask for God’s Help in speaking to others of Jesus
To ask for God’s Help to live for Jesus

To name others in need known to us – that they may experience God’s Help at this time

To ask God to Help those who are struggling with Mother’s Day being tomorrow

To ask God to Help those unable to help themselves at this time

Daily Devotions for Saturday 13th March, 2021

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

Reading : LUKE 4 verses 1-13

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
The Temptations of Jesus.
What do they mean for you in your daily living?
What is God saying to you today about Himself?

And then Pray in response to what you read – to this God of ours.
Praying for help and strength and wisdom
Praying for others known to you at this time

In Jesus’ name
Amen and 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 this passage again from LUKE 4
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Call on Him in your evening Prayer

LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are!
For all you have done for us!
For your help and protection even today!
And as we give it all back to you
May you help us in our struggles
Now
Tomorrow
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
