#Help ThyKingdomCome

In our land and across our world during May believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there are 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the various themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers for His help.strong>

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers this morning – for others – for yourself.
Ask Father God for His help for something specific.
Name before Him someone in need known to you.
Ask for the Spirit to help each of us to speak up for Jesus – before, during and after Big Alpha.

O LORD our God
We are but jars of clay
Help us
Oh help us!
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Great and mighty One,
Good and gracious One,
Thank you
Thank you
In Jesus’ name,
