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)
A few weeks ago, Axel Radakubana was tried and sentenced to 52 years in prison for the murders of three young girls at a dance class in Southport last summer. At the time of the crime, we were shocked by its cold-blooded nature and the senselessness of targeting those victims. Little by little more has…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Rev Claire Jones www.christianaid.org.uk Something to read Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. No one, when tempted, should say, ‘I am…
Each morning we use a Prayer Card that provides a subject for each day of the week, so over a year we pray for each subject at least 52 times, One day of the week covers the subject of “Care for disabled and orphans” and includes the phrase “Disability is often seen as a curse…
I recently read Matthew 6:5-8 , which is a prelude to Jesus giving the disciples what we know as the Lord’s Prayer as a template for how to pray. I was particularly struck by verse 7 and where it falls in relation to the Lord’s Prayer. “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as…

When my older son, James, was a child he had terrible Asthma so he couldn’t run around a lot. Building Lego became a favourite occupation with all pocket money being spent on new bits and birthday and Christmas presents mostly consisting of Lego. I must admit that I enjoyed sitting with him and creating new…
If the baby was fretful all day – that would be a long tiring day. However, if they screamed and screamed, generally it didn’t last long, either it would be obvious what was wrong and it could be sorted with a nappy change or a dose of paracetamol or they would tire themselves out and…
In his inaugural address the current President of the United States of America said that he had been ‘saved by God to make America Great again.’ President Trump believes that he avoided death by assassination because God required him for that specific purpose. Three things are implicit in this statement, one of which is profoundly…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Gemma Saxton “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.” — Psalm 139:1 There is never a moment when God does not see you, know you, and love you. He knows your thoughts before you speak, your joys and struggles before you feel them. In…
A recent personal Bible study was based on Genesis 6, verses 9 to 22, the story of Noah. I still find it amazing to learn of details that either remind me of forgotten verses or are possibly overlooked. At the end of that passage, verse 21 in the translation used, “Be sure to take on…
