Prayer is the oxygen of our life with God. It is the atmosphere in which we breathe as Christians. We come together to pray and we continue this life of prayer in our daily lives acknowledging that all things come from God, our Heavenly Father. We come in silence, in song, in adoration, in petition; we pray through scripture, by the Spirit, using ancient prayers and our own crafted or spontaneous prayers. The important thing is that we come, entering into the presence of God to dwell with him, to receive from him, to open our heart before him.
Prayer is seldom easy. Everyone is helped in different ways and I hope some of the resources on this page will prove to be a help, enriching your own prayer life. But the basic message is always the same: just pray.
Here are some resources for Daily Prayer throughout the year. They can be used alone or with those you live with. They are also used as a resources in our corporate prayer meetings. They are mostly in the form of Anglican services of Daily Office but the prayers they contain can be used in any setting or circumstance.
