Thy Kingdom Come as it is in Heaven

In our land and across our world during the next 10 days believers and followers of Jesus are being invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This is a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there will be 11 posts on our website and social media pages – 10-20 May 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 Pentecost Sunday – 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!
