Thy Kingdom Come #adore

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

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 adoration.

LORD God
We look upward and adore you for who you are.
Oh fill our minds and spirits with your glory and keep our eyes upward as we journey onwards.
In Jesus name… Amen.
