DAILY REFLECTIONS AND PRAYER

Thy Kingdom Come

The days between Ascension and Pentecost have always been full of expectation and anticipation. As the Lord Jesus ascended, he promised the gift of the Holy Spirit to enable the disciples to be witnesses. As they waited for the promise to be fulfilled they devoted themselves constantly to prayer (Acts 1.14). So, the renewed call across the Church is to set these days apart to pray, and each individual to pray for five people to come to know the love of Jesus Christ.

One of the resources we’re drawing from is Daily Prayer Journal for Thy Kingdom Come. Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension Day (May 21st) and Pentecost (May 31st) for more people to come to know Jesus.

Daily Prayer Journal is a great way to set up regular, daily patterns of prayer to hold these people in prayer. Each day there is a passage from the Bible, a short reflection, a prayer, and a suggestion for action. There is also space each day for your own notes. We also have booklets if you’d like one delivered locally.

Connect Daily: Thought for the Day

We’ll be continuing with our Thought for The Day. These short reflections are available through our Facebook Group from 8:00am each day (except Sundays). At the end of each week you can view them on our Discipleship and Prayer page or ask for a printed copy. Through our 11-day Church Weekend some of the thoughts will reflect on the themes of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer journal (see above).

Common Worship: Morning, Evening, Day and Night Prayer from Ascension to Pentecost

The services in this booklet form part of what is sometimes known as the ‘Daily Office’, a form of worship and prayer which can be used by individuals or in group as a structure for praise and petition. It is drawn from Common Worship, one of the worship resources of the Church of England.
