Tag: 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 in 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….and celebrate!

For who God is!
For His good gifts during this past week!

Count your many blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you
What the LORD has done!

In Jesus’ name
Amen we say together.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus
Reading : GENESIS 18 verses 1-15

Meditation : take time to consider these verses this morning.
Imagine the conversation!
What are you encouraged and challenged by?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Take time to Pray in response – expecting God’s surprising answer!

O God of truth,
As I read these words
Help me believe
And trust in You
In good times and in hard times.
May Your Holy Spirit work in and through me.
As You were doing through Abraham and Sarah
As You are doing across the world.
Oh surprise us in these days we call out!
In Jesus’ name.
Amen – we pray together.

Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those struggling with miscarriage – past and present
Father God, hear our prayers and bless them real good we ask at this time

Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Genesis 18
Reflect on the surprises God has provided in your life
and pray in response to Him with thanksgiving – and expectation
For others in need at this time as well as yourself
Lord Jesus, hear our evening prayers
As we bring ourselves to you at the end of this day.
As we name others before You.
Amen.

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : GENESIS 12 verses 1-9

Meditation : take the time to consider this passage…God’s call to Abram.
What is God saying to you this morning?
What is your response to God’s Word today?

Pray in response – to our God of amazing blessings
And follow His call……

(Pray your own words of honesty at the start of this day
Of praise and worship
Of confession and trust
Of need)

O LORD our God,
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Midday
Pray God’s blessings on those suffering mental health issues
O LORD, have mercy on all we call out and pour rich blessings!

Father God, hear my prayer this evening.
As I humbly name others before you.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
