Our prayers for our 5 people don’t stop just because we’ve reached the end of Thy Kingdom Come for this year! Here are some ways we can keep praying for and encouraging, our 5 people, and each other as we pray.

Keep your people visible to you

How do you usually pray or keep track of your prayers? Maybe a journal, or inside your Bible. Or where do you hang out a lot (in the car? In front of the mirror? Or the fridge?! Write your people’s names or initials down in a prominent place that you see regularly, and pray every time you notice them. Another good idea is to tie a piece of string around your wrist, with 5 knots in it, each representing one of your people.

Keep in touch with your people

It doesn’t need to be weird. Chances are these are people you are already in relationship with. Check in with them regularly; find out what’s going on in their lives. Invite them to things that you do. Ask them what you can pray for them for. Share what you think God might be saying to them (though if you’re not confident in this you might want to test what you’re hearing with other Christians you trust).

Encourage each other and celebrate good news

When God answers prayer in the lives of those we are praying for, it’s so good to share this with others who are also praying for 5. It helps encourage us and strengthens our faith. Even just hearing “I’ve been praying for one of my five and they got in touch and asked about my faith” is so encouraging. And those stories will happen! Just remember to share at an appropriate level so that you’re not revealing names or personal details about people.

Prayer Journal

If you find reflective prayer through journaling meaningful, this could be a great way to engage in the Thy Kingdom Comeprayer journey. While it’s absolutely fine to take this journey on your own, there’s something powerful about praying alongside others.

Consider inviting your household, family, friends, or small group to join you. Even little ones can take part—there are activities designed with them in mind. We can all pray for five.

You don’t need to share names if that’s not appropriate, but praying together—even quietly and separately—can build encouragement and help us celebrate when we see God moving.

The Thy Kingdom Come prayer journal is a helpful guide, exploring the Lord’s Prayer through daily reflections from a variety of Christian voices and traditions.
