Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God
Reading : ACTS chapter 15
Meditation : take time and consider these words and events this Sunday morning.
What words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word this morning?
What is your response to Him?
and then pray in response to the Lord, the Head of the Church
O Lord Jesus,
Great and so worthy of praise.
We bow before You.
We lay our lives before You.
Oh fill us with your Spirit
For of ourselves we get it so wrong
Today and every day!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those preaching in our land today
O LORD, God of mercy, hear our cry and pour out blessings we ask!
Evening
Reading : read these verses again from Acts 15
Reflect on all that is said and then Pray in response to this God
O LORD, our Great God, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for what we read and for Your Church
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
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 themes raised by the leaders.
Today we are encouraged to bring to Jesus others known to us
our families
our neighbours
our colleagues at work
our friends and those we spend time with
our local shopkeepers and businesses
May they experience the Kingdom of God in their lives and circumstances – as it is in heaven.
O Lord
Hear our cry
Have mercy
Surprise them
With a blessing
Even today
Amen!
Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
Reading : ACTS chapter 13
Meditation : take time to consider these verses and the people mentioned here.
What do you see?
What is God saying to you today?
And then Pray in response to this God.
O LORD God,
I read
I believe
I worship You
With cries of joy.
Oh this day
Help me to keep my eyes upward, inward and outward
And look for Your hand at work in others.
Amen we pray together.
Midday
Pray God’s blessing on those seeking to know God’s Kingdom will
And for Big Alpha coming in the autumn
God of grace and mercy hear our prayers and bless all real good we ask.
Evening
Reading : read this passage again
Reflect on your God…. and then Praise Him in your evening Prayer
LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are!
For all you have done for us!
And as we give it all back to you
May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Somewhere to go before or after the Pathway of Peace?
In our land and across our world during the 11 days leading to 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.
As part of our daily devotional rhythm there have been 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.
Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and to pray for His Kingdom to be a reality in our lives – in our church – in our city – in our land – in our world – as it is in heaven.
Please take a few minutes with God – on this particular Saturday – and pause to pray for a Kingdom experience – even today.
Pray to see evidence of His Kingdom rule and blessing in our day.
Pray for His Kingdom will to be done – on earth as it is in heaven.
O LORD our God
Father
Son
Holy Spirit
We call out
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy will be done
Today
Tomorrow
Forever!
