Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

You are invited to pause at this time in your day and reflect on the daily video from Thy Kingdom Come

A Prayer from TKC
Steadfast God, redirect my life and redirect the life of the world.
Help us to live in peace with each other and with the planet.
And today help me to tread lightly on the earth, praying for others that we may all find for ourselves the way of being human that God shows us in Jesus.
Give me the chance to start again. To turn around.
Amen.
