Prayer resources

Various people have been asking for these, so here is a little buffet of simple prayer resources. I hope you find them helpful!

God loves to connect with you, and is delighted when you pray. If you haven’t prayed before, that’s ok – now is a great time to start! You can talk to God about whatever you’d like to talk to Him about. He won’t shame you or ridicule you or tell you off for doing it wrong or not doing it enough – there’s no wrong way to pray, and He loves you so much. You don’t need special words or any kind of formula; you can be informal and relaxed with prayer. You can pray anywhere, at any time – God will always welcome you with love.

Prayer doesn’t come naturally to everyone. And for some people, prayer sometimes feels easy and wonderful, and at other times feels like hard work. This is normal! For times in our lives when we feel a bit stuck or lost, or just need a bit of structure or support with prayer, some little prompts or simple resource bits can make a world of difference. Here’s some of the things that I’ve found to be catalytic in my own ‘prayer life’ – I hope you enjoy them too. (It’s not an exhaustive list!) Some of these might resonate more for you than others; that’s normal – there are so many different ways of engaging with God and prayer, and we’re all created unique and different, so we all pray in slightly different ways. Find what helps you connect well, and go from there.
