#Silence

As part of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture, today’s prayer theme is #Silence

As this day starts, we are encouraged to find a few moments of silence and take time out with God – time to be still in His Presence – time to slow down – time to be quiet and silent and hear His still, small voice…..

As we do so ….. may God meet with us and bring His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven…..even to our lives.
