Description

For some time now, I have been writing a simple blessing each day.I share it with those who are connected to me on social media. My friends, family and those who journey with me through these avenues have often commented that they would like to see them in a little book that you could carry with you on holiday, or leave by your bedside. I pray they will be used by God to bless you, to bless others and to somehow, in a small way, build confidence in Almighty God. You can dip into them or use them on a daily basis. Whatever works for you.Whether you are already a follower of Jesus, or you are just exploring Who He is and what He does, I pray these little blessings will help you.

Extrait

Malcolm Duncan s niteblessings are simply inspirational! Having witnessed their birth and benefited from Malcom s wisdom for a while now, I m thrilled that many others will now also be inspired, challenged, comforted, and blessed by his thought-provoking daily prayers for the world!
Cathy LeFeuvre, author, broadcaster, leader
I have been constantly impressed that Malcolm hears the heartbeat of our loving heavenly Father, and then expertly weaves words of prayer, reflection, honesty, and heart-cry into these niteblessings. They capture our emotions (sometimes happy, sometimes sad), and in that special moment cause us once again to reflect on His faithfulness, steadfastness, grace, and love.
Perhaps I should not be surprised, but as I read each one it seems they arrive at just the right time and say just the right thing for that particular day or moment. I have often found myself forwarding a niteblessing to someone in need.
I recommend you read this book and allow God to speak to you, encourage you, refresh you, and recharge you as God blesses you through each niteblessing.
Martin Pearson, pastor, Stroud Christian Fellowship
Over the past six months our family has been through both joy and suffering, sometimes in the same everyday moments. The niteblessing has been a compass that last thing at night keeps us set on the course that takes us closer to the heart of God s love, and a peace that passes all understanding.
Gill Beardmore, lay minister
I remember first receiving Malcolm s niteblessings at the end of Spring Harvest evening celebrations and was delighted when he then started writing these on social media. They have been a source of comfort, strength, and healing for me, friends, and family.
It s great to now have a book with these blessings in. I look forward to sharing them in my ministry and will continue to use them in my devotions.
Rev Karen Hilsden, Methodist minister

This book is dedicated to Julie Moody and her
family, and to Elaine Duncan. I thank God for you.

It is also dedicated to the memories of
those we have each loved and lost.
Gone, but never forgotten.

Lastly, I dedicate these niteblessings
to every person who, like me, needs a
daily reminder of the hope, grace, and
love that can be found in God.

What are Niteblessings?
For some time now I have been writing a simple blessing each day. I share it with those who are connected to me on social media via my public page on Facebook (RevMalcolmDuncan) and on Twitter (@malcolmjduncan). My friends, family, and those who journey with me through these social media avenues have often commented that they would like to see them in a little book that you could carry with you on holiday or leave by your bedside at night. Or maybe even leave on a coffee table in a waiting room. Perhaps even on that window ledge near the loo?
I have been deeply moved by how God has used these little blessings. I have regularly received messages from people all over the world. I am touched by stories of people who have come to faith, who have been strengthened at a time of trial, or who have been reminded of the beautiful grace of God and His promises. Thousands upon thousands of people read them, and I pray that they will be a blessing to you, or to someone you know and love.
I have thousands of them filed away, so who knows - this may be the first of several little books of this sort. I pray they will be used by God to bless you, to bless others, and to somehow - in a small way - build confidence in Almighty God. You can dip into them or use them on a daily basis. Whatever works for you.
This volume of #Niteblessings was written during my time as pastor of Gold Hill Baptist Church in Buckinghamshire. Some of the blessings were fashioned in the fabric of our life together as a community of Christ. I am deeply grateful for my time there and remember the community with great fondness. As I now serve the congregation of Dundonald Elim Church in Northern Ireland, I am equally humbled by the privilege of walking with you. May God continue to knit our hearts together in love and purpose.
Whether you are already a follower of Jesus or are just exploring who He is and what He does, I pray these little blessings will help you.
I d love to hear your stories of how they have helped. Just drop me a line on Twitter or on Facebook.
