ThyKingdomCome #help

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the 11 themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – our prayers for help
for others
for ourselves
for His Kingdom purposes
for His royal will to be done in our lives

O LORD
LORD God
God of grace and mercy

Today we pray
for others known to us
for…and…

And for ourselves at this time
we ask Your help
for…and…

In Jesus’ name
Amen!

A Celtic Prayer
High King of Heaven and Creator of all
We your people confess our weakness before you.
Where you are humble and free of sin – we are proud and sinful.
Where you are strong and firm – we are arrogant and boastful.
Because of our weakness, the world is suffering.
Have mercy O LORD our God
In Jesus’ name we can but ask.
Amen.
