Thy Kingdom Come #toJesus

In our land and across our world during the 10 days leading to Pentecost 2017 and 2018 believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are encouraged to pray for others to come to Jesus – to meet with Him – to become His disciples, living for Him – seeking His Father’s will to be done.

Please take a few minutes to pray for others known to you.
Please pause and pray for families to come to faith at Liberton.
Please pray for prodigals to return to Jesus.

O Lord, hear our prayers and show amazing grace we ask.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen

Thy Kingdom Come

Each Saturday morning we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the days leading up to Pentecost during the last two years….it was a call for the Church to seek and experience God’s Kingdom rule in our lives and churches and communities and land and across our world.

Today we pause to pray….

Take time and space in a place where you can pause to pray with the LORD our God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth
In my life
In my street
In my family
In my Church family
In my city
In my nation
As it is in Heaven
