The Revd Lynne Cullens is the Incumbent of Stockport and Brinnington. Here she offers a short prayer for her parish in the lead up to Thy Kingdom Come in which she reflects on the idea that we judge ourselves on our intentions, but others judge us on our impact.
Her prayer is that people will go out to the community with good Christian intentions but also make an impact for the common good too.
Thy Kingdom Come is a global initiative, in which Christians are called to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus. This year it runs from Thursday 13 to Sunday 23 May.
The Diocese of Chester is encouraging everyone to participate. Whether you are new to prayer or it has been your lifelong discipline, there are resources to help you participate individually or as part of your family or church.
