LET’S PRAY: THY KINGDOM COME
From Ascension Thursday to Pentecost (13 to 23 May 2021) Christians all over the world are once again invited to join the annual global prayer movement called Thy Kingdom Come.
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, the hope is that all who take part will:
- deepen their own relationship with Jesus Christ
- pray for 5 friends or family to come to faith in Jesus
- pray for the Holy Spirit to empower Christians everywhere for witness, just as He did the early disciples at Pentecost
Prayer resources – catering for ages 5 to 105, suitable for churches, families and individuals – are available online.
A prayer
Jesus, we believe in your kingdom coming. Even amid pain and despair, we believe that with each brave prophet – with each unknown disciple who stretches her arm as a bridge between a broken world and a holy kingdom – you are laying another brick for the New Jerusalem.
Amen.
