Thy Kingdom Come #offer

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 OFFER as we pause to pray with others.

We offer to God ourselves – just as we are

We offer to God our time – 24/7

We offer to God our monies – all of it

We offer to God today – and tomorrow

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer

Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
You are a most precious gift, the breath of the living God.
You bring certainty to my trembling uncertainties, focus to my disorientation.
You bring companionship in my loneliness, comfort in my sadness,
strength for my weakness, courage for my fearfulness, hope in my despair.

Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
You have the power to change my mundane into your special,
the power to lift my earthbound self to your glory,
the power to change my monochrome to glorious technicolour,
the power to make me, even me, your light in the world.

Come, Holy Spirit, live in me and transform my life.
Amen.

Evening
Reading : read the verses again from REVELATION 3.7-13
Reflect on the words…. and then Pray in response to what you have read

LORD God, our God, hear our evening prayers
As we pause in your presence
As we worship you for who you are
As we thank you for your help this day
And name others before you
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
