STRUGGLING?

Do not fear, for I am with you.

Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

ISAIAH 41:10

If you’re struggling, please know you are not alone. Life can be complex and challenging at times — whether it’s work, relationships, mental health, finances, or something else weighing on your heart. At Emmanuel Church Bicester, we want to be a place where you feel supported, listened to, and cared for.

We encourage you first to bring things to God in prayer and, where possible, to share with others you trust, such as your small group leaders. If things still feel unresolved, our Pastoral Team is here to support you. They can offer a listening ear, guidance, and, where helpful, signpost you towards Christian counselling.

We also believe in the power of prayer. If there’s something on your mind, there is always an opportunity to pray with someone at the end of our services. If you’re unsure who to approach, please do speak to a member of the team — we would love to stand with you in prayer. If you feel called to support others in this way, our Prayer Ministry Team would also love to hear from you.

If you would like to connect with the Prayer Ministry Team, please speak with Annie or Phil Croxford.
