Give us courage to challenge systems that leave people hungry while others have more than they need. Give us wisdom to care for your creation. Give us compassion for those who struggle. And give us the courage not simply to pray for your kingdom, but to work for it. Through Jesus Christ our Lord

for those who transport, prepare and serve our food, and for all whose labour sustains our communities. Forgive us when we take abundance for granted. Forgive us when we accept injustice as inevitable.

🙏 God of creation, you make the earth fruitful and give seed to the sower and bread to the hungry. You have entrusted this world to all your children, not to a few. We thank you for the harvest: for fields and gardens, for farmers and growers, for fishermen and food producers,

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

So today we bring both gratitude and concern before God. We come not simply to celebrate what has been harvested, but to pray for a world in which the fruits of creation and the fruits of human labour are shared fairly.

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Whose work is valued & whose work is invisible? Who owns the land, controls the resources and benefits from the wealth that is created? And what does it mean for us, as Christians committed to justice & solidarity, to live in a world where God has given enough for all, but where many go without

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Harvest is a season of thanksgiving — for the earth, for food, for the people whose work brings food to our tables, and for the gifts we receive from God and from one another. But harvest also asks difficult questions. Who has enough? Who goes without?

🙏 God of wisdom, Thank you for the conversations, debates and encounters of this past week. Help us to reflect honestly on what we have heard and learned. Help us to build a political culture where disagreement does not mean division, and where every person is treated with dignity.

011

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

As we leave Conference, may we carry that spirit with us, not only into political spaces, but into our churches, workplaces, communities and everyday conversations. May we be people who speak truth with grace, listen with humility and remember the humanity of those with whom we disagree.

110

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The bible reminds us that grace doesn't mean avoiding difficult conversations or watering down what we believe. We can speak with conviction while choosing words that leave room for dialogue and relationship.

110

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Conference brings together people with different experiences, priorities and convictions. We won't always agree and we don't need to. But our differences don't have to stop us from listening to one another, learning from one another and treating one another with dignity.

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

As Labour Party Conference comes to a close, we can reflect on a week of speeches, debates, conversations and disagreement about the future of our country and our movement. Political debate matters and so does the way we conduct it.🧵

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

🌱 Hope, service and a better future for our communities. Following Andy Burnham’s speech at Labour Party Conference, we’ve shared our reflections on what his message means for public life and the work ahead. Read our full statement below. 👇

We’re grateful to our partners from Tearfund, Islamic Relief UK, CAFOD & Christian Aid for the discussion & to Katie White MP Minister of State in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for joining us. Huge thanks also to our Chair, Anna Dixon MP for Shipley for chairing the discussion.

🙏 God of hope, When change feels slow & our efforts seem small, help us not to lose heart. Give us strength to keep doing good & patience to trust your work. Renew those who are tired, encourage those who feel discouraged & help us to recognise the seeds of hope already being planted around us.

000

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

As we look towards the week ahead, may we find renewed strength for the work in front of us. And may we remember that we do not have to bring about the whole harvest ourselves.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

This is not a call to ignore injustice or accept things as they are. It is an invitation to keep going with courage and hope, trusting that our small acts of love, service and solidarity are not wasted.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Scripture reminds us that faithfulness is not measured only by immediate results. Much of what matters takes time. Seeds are planted long before we see the harvest.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It can be difficult to keep doing good when change feels slow. We may work for justice, serve our communities, speak up for those who are overlooked or pray for a different kind of public life and still wonder whether anything is changing. 🧵

🙏 God of wisdom, Give us humility to listen, courage to speak with honesty and compassion to treat one another with dignity. Help us to seek wisdom that is peace-loving, merciful and sincere. May our words and actions reflect your grace, especially when we disagree.

000

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

As we reflect on the week ahead, may we seek not only to be heard, but to understand. May we hold our convictions with courage and engage with one another with grace.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This doesn't mean avoiding difficult conversations or setting aside deeply held convictions. It means approaching them with humility, remembering that we all see only in part, and that listening to one another can be an act of love.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The Bible reminds us that true wisdom is not simply about being certain that we are right. Wisdom is also revealed in how we treat one another: with consideration, mercy, sincerity and a commitment to peace.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

When we face difficult questions, it's tempting to look for simple answers. But some of life's biggest questions require us to listen carefully, think deeply and recognise the weight of the decisions before us.🧵

110

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

We prayed for respectful debate, for people to listen carefully to one another even when they disagree and for the voices and experiences of those most affected to be heard. Whatever our individual views, we can pray for our political leaders as they face difficult decisions.

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

🙏 Praying for our MPs At our monthly prayer breakfast on Monday, MPs were in our prayers as they once again consider Assisted Dying legislation. On an issue that touches questions of life, death, dignity, suffering and care, we prayed for wisdom, compassion and courage for all those involved. 🧵

110

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

As a new season begins, we pray for all those returning to public life. For MPs and Peers returning to Parliament, for councillors returning to their communities, for teachers preparing to welcome children back, for families beginning new routines, and for all those facing a new chapter.

110

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

🙏 God of peace, Help us to be still in your presence. Quiet the noise around us and within us. When we are tempted to believe everything depends on us, remind us that you are God and we are not. Give us the wisdom to know when to act, when to listen and when simply to rest in you.

000

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

This week, perhaps we can make a little room for silence, to put down our phones, step away from the noise and simply remember that we are held by God.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Yet Scripture invites us to stop, to be still. To remember that God is present, even when we aren't busy doing something. Stillness doesn't mean giving up or turning away from the needs of the world. Sometimes it gives us the space to return to them with clearer minds and renewed hearts

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

There is a lot that demands our attention. News alerts, messages, meetings, responsibilities and the endless stream of things that need to be done can make stillness feel almost impossible.🧵

🙏 God of strength, Meet us in our weariness. When we feel stretched thin, remind us that we don't have to carry everything alone. Give strength to those who are exhausted, peace to those who are anxious, and rest to those who need it. Help us to trust you with the things we cannot carry ourselves.

000

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

God meets us in our weariness. We don't have to be strong all the time. We can bring our tiredness to God and trust that he will give us the strength we need for each day. As we come to the end of another week, may we make space to rest, receive and be renewed.

110

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

There are times when we feel like we have little left to give. The demands of work, family, community and public life can leave us feeling tired and stretched. Sometimes we need to be reminded that we don't have to carry everything alone.🧵

🙏God of wisdom, Give us ears to listen and hearts willing to understand. Help us to be slow to anger and careful with our words. Teach us to listen to those whose experiences are different from our own, and help us to recognise your image in every person we meet. May our words bring light and grace.

000

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

This week, may we be people who listen generously, speak thoughtfully and respond with grace.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Perhaps that's something our politics needs more of. And, perhaps it's something each of us can practice in our own lives. As Christians, we're called not only to speak for justice, but to listen to the people and experiences that shape our understanding of it.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

To be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry doesn't mean staying silent when something is wrong. It doesn't mean setting aside our convictions or avoiding difficult conversations. It means making space to understand before we respond.

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

In a world full of noise, listening can be an act of courage. We're surrounded by opinions, arguments and competing voices. It's easy to respond before we've really heard someone, particularly when we strongly disagree. But the Bible offers us a different way.🧵

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

At Christians on the Left, we're trying to model something different, building a political culture where we can challenge without contempt, listen without surrendering our convictions, and disagree without dehumanising one another. Because politics is ultimately about people. 💬 What would you add?

100

Christians on the Left @chrleft.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

But disagreement doesn't have to become division. And holding strong convictions doesn't require us to lose sight of the humanity of those we disagree with. As Christians, we're called to a different way of relating to one another: one shaped by truth, humility, compassion and grace.
