#thykingdomcome #sorry

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year across the world, we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #sorry

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God , Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and bring Him your weekend prayers of confession.
Confess before Him words and thoughts and actions from this past week,  people you have hurt or offended and one way in which this country has rebelled against His ways of truth, love and peace.
And receive His forgiveness in and through Christ Jesus as you hand over your confessions – letting the Spirit wash you anew and clothe you in royal robes!

LORD God, my Father – sorry.
Son of God, my Jesus – sorry.
Holy Spirit of God – thank You.
Amen.
