Thy Kingdom Come #help

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.

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 HELP as we pause to pray with others.

Thank God for His help this past week.

Ask God the Holy Spirit for His help to speak of Jesus to someone – today – this week.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Devotions for Saturday 18th July, 2020

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

Reading : PSALM 23 verse 4

Meditation : take time to consider this verse afresh this morning.
The valley of the shadow of death.
What do these words mean for you in your life?

And then Pray in response – for others in a valley at this time

O God of all comfort,
Mercy and peace,
Hear our prayers
And walk with those we name before you.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your own midday prayer

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
And forgive us our sins
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

Evening
Reading : read these words again from PSALM 23.4 at the end of your day
Reflect on these words as you look back over your day and then Pray in response

LORD God, our God, hear our prayers this evening
As we return our thanks to You
And trust you for tomorrow
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As a Church we recently took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost.

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 PRAY FOR as we pause to pray with others.

We name before God those we have been praying for to meet with Jesus and to experience Kingdom life and blessing.

We name before Father God those we know in need at this time.

We pray for our national leaders…our Church leaders…in these days.

We pray for our world…..have mercy O God we call out!

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
