As part of the follow-up to the recent Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture, today we pause as God’s people and prayerfully consider the theme again of #silence
Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God , Father, Son and Holy Spirit- in silence.
Acknowledge God’s Presence.
Slow down and leave the world outside for a time as you focus on Him.
Listen for the Holy Spirit to speak with you.
Acknowledge God’s Presence with you as your day moves on.
Amen we pray together.
