Day 4 – Thy Will Be Done

A Reflection for Thy Kingdom Come Day 4, 2025

Today, Archbishop Anne Germond invites us to reflect on the words:
“Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

This reflection is drawn from the Thy Kingdom Come 2025 Prayer Journal, written by Helina Huskha Yeptho.

“This is a prayer for God’s Kingdom to be experienced on earth… for us to know His love, live Christlike lives, and share it with those who have yet to hear the gospel.”

Let us pray today for our Five—that they may come to know the love of Christ personally and be inspired to share that love with others.

She was keenly aware of belonging to a minority faith in a country where Christians make up about 2.3% of the population. The vision of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council, encapsulated in the slogan ‘Nagaland for Christ,’ birthed in her a profound desire to know Christ deeply and share His love with others. Her great-grandparents were animists, worshipping nature, but Christian missionaries brought the gospel to her people, introducing them to the love of Christ and transforming their lives. Today, Nagaland stands as a Christian-majority state, a testament to their prayers and faithful mission.

Day 7 – As We Forgive Those Who Sin Against Us

A Reflection for Thy Kingdom Come 2025

Today, Archbishop Anne Germond invites us to reflect on one of the most difficult and transformational lines in the Lord’s Prayer:
“As we forgive those who sin against us.”

This reflection is drawn from the Thy Kingdom Come 2025 Prayer Journal and written by Ray and Vi Donovan, MBE, whose powerful testimony speaks to the cost—and the freedom—of forgiveness.

“Not forgiving is like drinking a glass of poison in the hope it will kill the person that hurt you… Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free—and then discovering that the prisoner was ourself.”

👤 About Ray and Vi Donovan, MBE

Ray and Vi Donovan became national advocates for restorative justice after the tragic and unprovoked killing of their son Christopher in 2001. In the midst of unimaginable grief, they chose to forgive those responsible—and turned their pain into purpose.

They went on to establish the Chris Donovan Trust, which works to promote restorative justice and peacebuilding through education and testimony. Their story has been shared widely across the UK, and they were both awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in recognition of their services to restorative justice and victim support.

Their reflection for Thy Kingdom Come is not theoretical—it is lived. It is a witness to the costly, liberating power of forgiveness in Christ.
