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

Circuit Online Prayer Group
A new series starting 15th April 2026
The next series for Bradford North prayer zoom is on the theme of heaven. It starts on Wed 15 April 2026, the last one on Wed 15 July. The first half hour is a talk, discussion and hymn on the topic, the second half hour is praying. God hears both silent and spoken prayers! The topic will explore from the Bible where and what is heaven, who goes there and John Wesley’s teaching about heaven.
Everyone is welcome, sessions are stand alone thus log on when you can.
We are following the study guide on Heaven by David Connolly, available from Amazon.
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.
If you missed the prayer course led by Rhona, you can follow it on your own from https://prayercourse.org/.
How Do I Pray?
We all pray in different ways, in different places and at different times. Christianity.org gives suggestions for how to get started.
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
