Thy Kingdom Come #thanks

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost…..and this year it will happen May 13th-23rd.

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 THANKS as we pause to pray with others in our nation and across the world.

We are encouraged to pause and take time with the LORD our God on this particular Saturday in February 2021.
To Thank Him for who He is – the LORD Almighty – our Father God – Saviour – Helper – the same, yesterday, today and forever – pandemic or not!

To Thank Him for the blessings of this past week

To Thank Him for 3 people you know in your life

To Thank Him for the vaccines being given at this time

Daily Devotions for Saturday 13th February, 2021

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

Reading : PSALM 18 verses 20-24

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
‘I have not turned away from my God.’
What do they mean for you in your life?
What is God saying to you today?

And then Pray in response to what you read – to this God of David’s.
Pray with honesty.
Pray for grace and forgiveness.
Pray to be led through this day.

In Jesus’ name
Amen

Midday
Pray the words of the Lord’s Prayer as your own prayer today

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 the set verses from Psalm 18 again
Reflect on this God, your God, our God…. and then Pray to Him in your evening Prayer

LORD God, our God,
Hear our evening prayers
Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who have sinned against us.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
