Thy Kingdom Come #advent #wonder #joy

As part of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year we have been pausing on a Saturday morning and asking, seeking and knocking on heaven’s door.

Today, as Christmas weekend dawns, we are encouraged to find a place and space and pray to the God of CHRISTmas wonder and joy for our world and ourselves at this season of Advent and Christmas.

Oh Father God at this time of the year we pray for the wonder and joy of the Christmas message to be spoken out and found and treasured in our world and in the lives of those we name before you – especially in those situations where wonder has been rationalized and joy has been deeply lost. Shine Jesus shine, flow river flow, songs of joy ring out!  We ask these things in Jesus’ name,  Amen.

ThyKingdomCome #Advent #hope

As part of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year we have been pausing on a Saturday morning and asking, seeking and knocking on heaven’s door.

Today we are encouraged to find a place and space and pray to the God of hope for our world and ourselves at this season of Advent and Christmas.

Oh Father God at this time of the year we pray for hope to be found and treasured in our world and in the lives of those we name before you – especially in those situations where hope has been dashed or squashed. Shine Jesus shine, blaze Spirit blaze.  We ask these things in Jesus’ name,  Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #Advent #Peace

As part of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year we have been pausing on a Saturday morning and asking, seeking and knocking on heaven’s door.

Today we are encouraged to find a place and space and pray for the Peace of God to be evident in our world and lives at this season of Advent and Christmas.

Oh Father God at this time of the year we pray for Peace in our world – especially in and around  Jerusalem at this time  – and for our lives at this busy time to know and share the Prince of Peace.  We ask these things in Jesus’ name,  Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #Thanks

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year across the world, we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #thanks

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and bring Him your weekend prayers of thanks!

Pause in His presence and remember all His gifts to you in this week – and give Him your thanks.

Thank you Father God!
Thank you Lord Jesus!
Thank you Holy Spirit!
Thank You for all you have given me!

Thank You for all You have done!

Thank you for all You are doing!

In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
