#ThyKingdomCome #Sorry

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 #Sorry

Take a few minutes now with Father God to bring Him your weekend prayers of confession- for things done or not done – for things said or not said – for people hurt or ignored.   Ask and receive His forgiveness.   Take time with Him to consider any step forward that needs to be taken as a result.    Pray also for our nation in these days and those who need to say sorry to others.

Our Father in heaven, receive our prayers of confession, have mercy we call out and hear our prayers this weekend.
