A Celtic Prayer – from St Columba
Alone with none but you, my God,
I journey on my way.
What need I fear, when you are near,
O King of night and day?
More safe am I within your hand
Than if a host did round me stand.

My life I yield to your command,
And bow to your control,
In peaceful calm, for from your arm
No power can snatch my soul.
Could earthly foes ever appal
A soul that heeds the heavenly call?

Amen.

ThyKingdomCome #help

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 11 themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – our prayers for help
for others
for ourselves
for His Kingdom purposes
for His royal will to be done in our lives

O LORD
LORD God
God of grace and mercy

Today we pray
for others known to us
for…and…

And for ourselves at this time
we ask Your help
for…and…

In Jesus’ name
Amen!
