Daily Prayer

• A prayer that we may see God in others
  13 October 2026 by Richard Andrew, District Chair, Darlington District
  Teach us, Lord, to seek your face in those who think they are faceless; your word among those who are voiceless; and your transforming presence among those who feel powerless. Draw us to yourself that we may be active contemplatives in the heart of your world, discovering afresh the presence of Jesus wherever it is disguised and honouring you in the face of the neighbour, the lowly appearance of bread and wine, and the walk of daily service, that we might follow where you lead and respond with warmed hearts and active hands. Amen. Inspired by Mother Teresa of Calcutta […]

Be Joyful In Hope, Patient In Affliction, Faithful In Prayer

Circuit Prayer

Encircling God,
we pray for the unity of our circuit,
may a spirit of co-operation grow and flourish
between all the churches.

Loving God,
may there be a bond of love between the churches,
that everyone will feel a concern for each other,
no matter to which church they belong.

Empowering God,
may your Holy Spirit enable and direct all that we do,
so that in all things your mission might be ours.

Grant us a wider vision
so that we may be more effective channels of your love in our communities.
In the name of Christ,
Amen

Prayer is an important part of Christian living as it helps us to build our relationship with God; however, it is not always easy to pray, and sometimes God may answer our prayers in unexpected ways.

Prayer was at the heart of all our deliberations as we considered forming our new circuit; and it continues to be so as we move forward in faith. We are grateful to Roy Lorrain-Smith for developing a Circuit prayer network and for providing our monthly prayer column with a short reflection and weekly prayers for the month.

A new series starting 2nd Sep 2026

The next series for Bradford North prayer zoom is on the theme of becoming more like Jesus but in a beautiful and encouraging way.

Thomas À Kempis wrote the Imitation  of Christ around 1420, John Wesley updated it for people in his time in 1735 and now Methodist Minister in Florida David Juliano has updated it for today. It’s a beautiful book. You don’t need the book to join us but it would make a wonderful gift. Amazon and other providers has It for £13.21. David Juliano himself is leading every week from 2 Sep-18 Nov 2026. How exciting!!

The first half hour is his talk, discussion and hymn on the topic, the second half hour is praying. God hears both silent and spoken prayers!

Everyone is welcome; sessions are stand alone thus log on when you can.

Here is the link to the study guide Walking the Christians Pattern

You are very welcome to join us on Zoom between 1.30 and 2.30 pm each Wednesday – use the prayer request below to ask for the link.
