How to pray with children
How to pray with children – some creative ideas
This year the dates for Thy Kingdom Come fall during the half term holidays for many schools in England.
It’s a lovely opportunity to take time to pray together as a family without rushing off to clubs and school commitments.
We’d like to introduce the amazing Kingdom Kit – to help families pray at home together. This will guide you and your family with a daily prayer prompt and activity. Everything you will need to follow the suggestions is included in the pack from mustard seeds, keyrings and balloons to smarties and bookmarks.
Also available is our Family Creative Prayer Journal and the Thy Kingdom Come Bright Prayer Ideas for Families at home. https://www.cpo.org.uk/thykingdomcome

Pray protection for our nation
Westminster
It is shocking to see how easy it is for one person to create so much carnage! As we have all seen recently with the attack in Westminster. We need to remain vigilant in prayer in the days ahead.
Please pray:
1) Every person plotting to cause death and destruction will be exposed before they get anywhere near their target.
2) For the police and security services to be in the right place, at the right time, watching the right people to foil every plan of the enemy.
3) Our enemy is not the flesh and blood but the principalities and powers. In prayer lift the flesh and blood into God's presence and pray for their salvation.
Ghost Ships
On 10th March Sky News covered an issue of Ghost Ships where vessels on our coast lines are suspected of turning off their GPS devices to avoid being tracked by the authorities. See http://news.sky.com/story/questions-over-ghost-ships-sailing-under-the-radar-10797433 for more information.
Please pray:
1) There will be no collisions.
2) Every vessels attempting to slip into our waters unrighteously will be exposed.
Stop domestic violence
We have been told by the Police that there are greater dangers in our nations from domestic violence than terrorism. Yet it still remains such a hidden danger.
According to the Office of National Statistics 1.8 million adults between 16 to 59 said they were a victim of domestic abuse in the last year to March 2016. 1 in every 10 crimes reported are domestic violence...but that will only be the tip of the iceberg as many people do not report domestic violence.
Much domestic violence can be due to drug or alcohol addictions and mental health problems.
Pray that:
1) The victims will have the courage to seek help
2) The perpetrators will get help to deal with their anger in a healthy way.
3) The children who often witness the violence or are victims of the violence themselves. They often grow up to be victims or perpetrators themselves if the pattern is not broken.

The power of dreams
Ex-Muslim Nabeel Qureshi has asked for prayers as he undergoes chemotherapy for cancer and struggles to eat. In his post he also said he saw Jesus in a dream. ‘It's something that I have never seen before. A lot of people who leave Islam and become Christians do so because they have seen Jesus in a dream or a vision. I received dreams and visions when I was seeking God, and I saw things that led me to the Gospel. Later, I was thrilled to see Jesus in a dream. I had been praying for it. I had been asking for guidance and I think I got some.’ To read his story and find out about his unusual prophetic act, click the ‘More’ button.
