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….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….asking for Help.
Ask
Seek
Knock
Expect
In Jesus’ name
Amen we say together.
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus.
Reading : PSALM 1
Meditation : take time to consider these words this Saturday morning.
What images or words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word today?
Pray in response to the God of Psalm 1
O LORD
Our God
Good and Gracious One,
Receive our praise
Hear our prayers
And keep us on the right path we ask
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Especially for others who feel lost and let down, in need of being restored

And be with those we name before you.
In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.
In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost earlier this year 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.
