Thy Kingdom Come

Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for the 11 days from Ascension (Thursday 21 May) to Pentecost (Sunday 31 May) just as the disciples joined together constantly in prayer in Jerusalem after Jesus ascended.

Since starting in 2016 the movement has grown to involve 65 denominations in 178 countries, including the Church of Scotland. In 2019 Christians from 172 countries took part in praying ‘Come Holy Spirit’, so that friends and family, neighbours and colleagues might come to faith in Jesus Christ.

There is a dedicated website and app which have prayer resources for all ages wherever we are, and this year due to the pandemic much is available online:

God of all hope we call on you today.

We pray for those who are living in fear: fear of illness, fear for loved ones, fear of other’s reactions to them. May your Spirit give us a sense of calmness and peace.

We pray for your church in this time of uncertainty. For those people who are worried about attending worship. For those needing to make decisions in order to care for others. For those who will feel more isolated by not being able to attend.

Grant us your wisdom. Holy God, we remember that you have promised that Nothing will separate us from your love – demonstrated to us in Jesus Christ.

Help us turn our eyes, hearts and minds to you. Amen
