Yestoday London was hit by a major terrorist attack. I guess we have to say that it is a day that has long been expected and feared by Londoners.

While details are still not completely clear it seems that towards the end of the morning rush hour four bombs were detonated, three in the London Underground, and one on a bus. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been affected and our thanks goes to God that it wasn’t so much worse.

I think many people will be surprised that the scale of the attack wasn’t much bigger and peoples resolve and confidence will not be shaken.

Coming from London myself, although now I live in Portsmouth, I am aware that terrorism is not a new phenomenon to the capital. I also know that Londoners will not give in and will not lose heart. If anything they will be strengthened and united together around the common cause.

We pray that those responsible will be brought to justice and that Gods supremacy will reign over the city.
