Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15)
In a previous “thought” I shared with you two of the stories Nigerian Christian women wrote down for us in the World Day of Prayer service. They shared information about their lives, and how their faith has helped them to overcome challenges. Today I am covering another story from a woman who lives in the…
Mark chapter 4 verses 35 to 41 shares a lovely story that was recently the basis for my morning Bible reading, but concentrating on the storm and how Jesus is as much with us in our storms as He was with his disciples. Whenever I am reminded of this account, the phrase that attracts me…
Trauma survivors often tread paths of silent resilience, embodying the words of Viktor Frankl: ‘When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.’ This journey of transformation echoes the wisdom of Romans 12:2, ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing…

Are you a lark or an owl when it comes to times of rising and going to bed – or somewhere in between the two? I’ve never been a lover of early mornings. I was fortunate that, when I was working, my job did not require early mornings, just a 9am office start. I was…
We had been attending a church for about 18 months when we were blessed with our first daughter. We travelled about five miles from our village and determined that this new arrival would not stop our regular attendance. However, our newborn was not aware of how she should be quiet for an hour during the…
Paul writes in Romans 12 of how we are all part of one body, no one part more important than the other, and in 1 Corinthians 12 of how we are one body made up of different parts all reliant on each other. Eyes and ears, arms and legs. I was challenged recently to write…

Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Peter Horrobin www.ellel.uk “We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye-witnesses of his majesty”. 2 Peter 1:8, NIV False religions depend on people being deceived into thinking that…
