Prayers for the Lonely
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name..." (Matthew 6: 9-13)
Self-isolate. Quarantine. Social distance. These once-foreign phrases have become commonplace over the last few months. All around the world, there are people who are missing out on human interaction. They are still distanced from friends and family, working separately at home, bubbled into a very small or…
Project - He Hears Us
Rumours of a new disease were reaching our ears at the beginning of 2020. By 30th January we had our first confirmed cases. On 24th March, India went into lockdown. Nothing has been the same since.
Now as we approach the end of 2020, the world, our nation, our communities and our lives are barely recognisable from just one year ago.…

Prayers for those who need Reassurance
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever." (Psalm 136: 1)
The Bible never wavers in reminding us of this wonderful truth: God is good. Not “will be” or “has been” but “is”. He is good when we can feel His goodness; and He is still good when we can’t. He…
Prayers for those who need Comfort
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God" (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
In His Word, God specifically calls Himself “the…

IN Depression Article

The Cross and Covid 19
An Easter Reading plan - day 8
Read Mark 16:9–20
There is considerable doubt among scholars about whether Mark 16:9–20 belongs to the original text of Mark, as the earliest manuscripts do not include them. If so, Mark seems to end abruptly. Was it because he was killed before he could conclude his gospel, or was his conclusion simply lost? Attempts…
