Day 9: Thy Kingdom Come

Look...and be curious
Take a moment to see where you are. What do you see? What do you hear? Where is God at this very moment?

Wait... with prayerful expectation
Invite God to come with the simple prayer: Come Holy Spirit, Thy Kingdom Come

Read...the text with an open mind
So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
Matthew 28:8-10

Respond... with prayer and action
O God of the resurrection morning, may we know what it is to joyfully meet this mystery and face our fears of the unknown. Give flight to our feet, as we run to share this news and meet you in every place.

(Recall the five people who you have decided to pray for over the next 11 days.)

Give them the peace they need.
Give them the grace they need.
Give them the strength they need.
Give them the healing they need.
Give them the love they need.
Give them Jesus.
Amen.
