Thanks #ThyKingdomCome

In our land and across our world last month believers and followers of Jesus were being invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are re-visiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – at 8am each Saturday – on the themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers of thanks – for who He is and for all He has done and given!

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers of thanksgiving this morning.
Thank Father God for the gifts of this past week.
Thank God for all those who come into our buildings at Liberton Kirk.

O LORD our God
Receive our prayers of thanks this morning.
You are great! You are good!
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen!
