Thy Kingdom Come #silence

As a Church we took part 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 SILENCE as we pause to pray with others.

It may seem a strange thing to do at this time but we are invited to spend time with the LORD our God….being still with Him at this time…..listening….hearing….receiving.
You may find it helpful to pause and read 1 KINGS 19 vs 1-13 as you turn to Prayer.

Invite the Holy Spirit to slow you down

Ask Him to help you hear what God is saying to you…in these days

Receive His gifts

Thank Him

Bring to mind the good gifts God has given you this past week.

Celebrate His amazing grace and kindness and generosity.

Celebrate His acts of goodness to you and others.

Celebrate with the psalmist and the musicians and the dancers!
