Thy Kingdom Come #Offer

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last year around the world…and in preparation for May this year… we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #Offer

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able this weekend – with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and spend time in prayer with Him – bringing Him your prayers – offering yourself, your time, energy, monies and all that you are and have – for God’s purposes and Kingdom will.

Father God
Here I am
All that I have
All that I am
Take
Use
Everything
All for Jesus
In His name, Amen.
