#thykingdomcome #offer

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this 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 – offering yourself to Him for His kingdom will and purpose.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit
take my time
take my monies
take my possessions
take my words
take my thoughts
take my actions
take my will
take my emotions
take me
today
tomorrow
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
wherever
however
I offer up to You
more than these words
as my living sacrifice
In Jesus’ name
Amen.
