ThyKingdomCome #Praise

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 praise
For who He is
For all His gifts in Christ
For all the blessings of this week

O LORD
Our God
We bring to You
our sacrifice of Praise
For who You are
For all Your gifts and blessings
especially for….

In Jesus’ name
Amen!
