Thy Kingdom Come #Thanks

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 #thanks

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 thanks!

Pause in His presence and remember all His gifts to you in this week – and give Him your thanks.

Thank you Father God!
Thank you Lord Jesus!
Thank you Holy Spirit!
Thank You for all you have given me!

Thank You for all You have done!

Thank you for all You are doing!

In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
