Thy Kingdom Come #Praise

As part of God’s Church we participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year. This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago now!

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of PRAISE as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to take time to bring our sacrifice of praise to the LORD our God

We praise Him for who He is – the Living and True God

We praise Him with songs of praise!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the name of Jesus!
Praise my soul the King of Heaven!

We praise Him Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In Jesus’ name….Amen and Amen!

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit

Reading : PSALM 119 verse 132

What encourages and challenges you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?

O God, my God,
Hear my morning prayer
And have mercy
As I lay myself
And this day
Before you
In Jesus’ name.

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread

As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
