Thy Kingdom Come Prayer Movement

Revelation 1 To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,    and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.   “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”     and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”;     and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen.   “I am the Al...

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1   This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10   And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. 1 John 4:1...

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.  Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one wh...

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing oureyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.   Cons...

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1  And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify...

The fear of the Lord prolongs life,      but the years of the wicked will be short.  The hope of the righteous brings joy,      but the expectation of the wicked will perish. (Proverbs 10:27-28)    The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,      and whoever captures souls is wise. (Proverbs 11:30) Lord, you tie everything back to yourself: the fear of the Lord prolongs life, the hope of the rig...

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;      another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.  Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,      and one who waters will himself be watered. (Proverbs 11:24-25) Father, you turn the world’s math upside down: the one who gives freely grows richer, and the one who refreshes others is himself refreshed. I pray that ______ would be generous...

Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,      but a man of understanding remains silent.  Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,      but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. (Proverbs 11:12-13) Heavenly Father, you contrast the person who belittles a neighbor and spills secrets with the one who is trustworthy and keeps a confidence. I pray that ______ would be safe pe...

When words are many, transgression is not lacking,      but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.  The tongue of the righteous is choice silver;      the heart of the wicked is of little worth.  The lips of the righteous feed many,      but fools die for lack of sense. (Proverbs 10:19-21) Gracious God, you remind us that when words are many, sin is never far behind, but the one who holds his tong...

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,      but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.  Hatred stirs up strife,      but love covers all offenses. (Proverbs 10:11-12) God, you say the mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, and that love covers all offenses. I pray that ______ would have mouths like that — bringing life, not poison, into every room they enter. In a culture tha...

A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,      but a just weight is his delight.  When pride comes, then comes disgrace,      but with the humble is wisdom. (Proverbs 11:1-2) Lord, you care about honest scales — about whether a person can be trusted in the small, unseen transactions of everyday life. I pray that ______ would be trustworthy in the little things: their words, their work, their...

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,      but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. (Proverbs 10:9)    The integrity of the upright guides them,      but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. (Proverbs 11:3) Father, you promise that the person who walks in integrity walks securely — no looking over the shoulder, no web of lies to keep track of. I pray that ______ would...

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelation 3:20 It can be helpful to walk through a structured framework in prayer. This week, we will use the ACTS acronym as a framework. In this recording, there will be prompts and then a minute or two of opportunity to respond in personal prayer.  ...

Proverbs 9:13-18Lord, Folly throws a party too. She’s loud, she promises that “stolen water is sweet,” and she never once mentions where it ends. I pray that ______ would see through her. Give them the discernment to tell the two invitations apart: the one that leads to life and the one that quietly leads to death. Don’t let them be fooled by what’s thrilling in the moment and ruinous in the end....

Proverbs 9:10-12 Father, here is the foundation under all of it: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. I pray that ______ would start there and build everything else on it not a fear that runs from you, but a reverence that runs to you. Let knowing you be the lens they see everything else through. Keep them from trying to be wise on their own terms, and root their whole life in awe of y...

Proverbs 9:1-6Heavenly Father, wisdom sets a table and sends out the invitation: “Come, eat… and walk in the way of insight.” I pray that ____ would accept it. Give them an appetite for the things that actually nourish your Word, your ways, your Church instead of the junk the world keeps serving. Where they’ve settled for empty calories, call them to the better feast. Let them leave their simple w...

Proverbs 8:32-36 Gracious God, you say that whoever finds wisdom finds life and favor from you but the one who misses it only harms himself. I pray that _______ would not miss it. Make them people who “watch daily” at wisdom’s gates, eager to listen and quick to obey. Guard them from the slow self-harm of ignoring you. And remind them that the wisdom they’re chasing has a name and a face your Son,...

Proverbs 8:17-21 God, you have shown us that wisdom is precious beyond gold or silver. You tell us that those who love wisdom will find her, and that her fruit is better than any treasure this world can offer. I pray that __________ would become a seeker of wisdom that they would listen for her voice, love her ways, walk in her paths of righteousness and justice. Reward their seeking, Lord. Let the...

Proverbs 8:10-13Lord, you tell us plainly that wisdom is worth more than silver and gold, more than anything a person could possibly want. I pray that ________ would believe that and live like it. In a world that measures everything by money, looks, and likes, teach them to value what you value. Tie the fear of the Lord to a hatred of evil in them, so that loving you and turning from sin become th...

Proverbs 8:1-5Father, wisdom isn’t hiding. She stands at the crossroads and the city gates and calls out loud, to anyone willing to listen. I pray that _________ would hear her over the noise. Don’t let them be too distracted, too busy, or too cool to stop and pay attention. Where they have been simple or careless, give them ears to hear and a willingness to learn. Make them the kind of young pers...

And now, O sons, listen to me,      and be attentive to the words of my mouth.  Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;      do not stray into her paths,  for many a victim has she laid low,      and all her slain are a mighty throng.  Her house is the way to Sheol,      going down to the chambers of death. (Proverbs 7:24-27) Father, your warning is blunt because you love us: don’t let your hea...

With much seductive speech she persuades him;      with her smooth talk she compels him.  All at once he follows her,      as an ox goes to the slaughter,  or as a stag is caught fast      till an arrow pierces its liver;  as a bird rushes into a snare;      he does not know that it will cost him his life. (Proverbs 7:21-23) God, the saddest line in this chapter is that he “does not know that it w...

For at the window of my house      I have looked out through my lattice,  and I have seen among the simple,      I have perceived among the youths,      a young man lacking sense,  passing along the street near her corner,      taking the road to her house  in the twilight, in the evening,      at the time of night and darkness. (Proverbs 7:6-9) Gracious God, Solomon watches a young man wander tow...

My son, keep my words      and treasure up my commandments with you;  keep my commandments and live;      keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;  bind them on your fingers;      write them on the tablet of your heart.  Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”      and call insight your intimate friend, (Proverbs 7:1-4) Lord, you tell us to keep wisdom close — as close as family, an intimate friend...

My son, keep your father’s commandment,      and forsake not your mother’s teaching.  Bind them on your heart always;      tie them around your neck.  When you walk, they will lead you;      when you lie down, they will watch over you;      and when you awake, they will talk with you.  For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,      and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,...
