Thy Kingdom Come is a global Prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray, from Ascension to Pentecost, for more people to come to know Jesus.
What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will:
This year, the organisers have introduced new daily themes for their resources. These themes focus on the character of God - 'Our Father in Heaven.'
A new sub-theme 'Living the Kingdom'.is being introduced. Participants are invited to go one step further and find ways to live the Kingdom.
There is a call for Christians to gather together (in-person where possible) and collaborate ecumenically locally, regionally and nationally - being a truly united witness to the world.

For Thy Kingdom Come 2023, our Diocesan Board of Education is taking to social media to pray, writes Rebecca Whittaker.
Thy Kingdom Come is the global prayer initiative that encourages Christians from around the world to join together in prayer. This year the Board of Education is focusing on prayer for youth work and young people in our Diocese.
Each day from Ascension (18th May) to Pentecost (28th May) the youth team will be on @YouthWorkStateofMind Instagram stories at 11 am to pray for youth leaders and their young people.
Focusing on a different theme each day, the 10 days of prayer aims to cover varying aspects of youth ministry including prayers for growth, vision and energy.
This short time of prayer is open to everyone so if you would like to join the youth team in praying, follow @YouthWorkStateofMind on Instagram and find them every day on their stories.
There is also an opportunity for our young people to get involved with this time of prayer. The @ThisisAbide Instagram account, which is for young people aged 11-17, will also be participating in this year’s Thy Kingdom Come.
Every day a member of the Abide team will be on Instagram stories exploring what it is to pray and will discuss questions like...
The Abide team will also be sharing social media videos from Thy Kingdom Come featuring people like Ellie Limebear, Guvna B and Jamie Jones-Buchanan discussing their experiences of prayer as well as some videos from the Christian organisation, The Way.
The aim is to encourage young people to pray and feel more confident in their prayer lives. Young people wanting to join Abide for Thy Kingdom Come just need to follow @ThisisAbide on Instagram.
