Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As a Church we recently took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost.

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 PRAY FOR as we pause to pray with others.

We name before God those we have been praying for to meet with Jesus and to experience Kingdom life and blessing.

We name before Father God those we know in need at this time.

We pray for our national leaders…our Church leaders…in these days.

We pray for our world…..have mercy O God we call out!

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Green pastures and quiet waters.

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

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

In our community, in our city.
