Thy Kingdom Come #Offer

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last year across the world, 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 -with God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and bring Him your weekend prayers of – and offer to Him all that you are and all that you have and all that you plan for the days ahead.

LORD God
My God

In response
to Your amazing grace and love

I offer to You
All that I am
All that I have
All that I have planned

Take me
Fill me
Use me
For Your Kingdom purposes

Even today

In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
