Prayer is spiritual communication between people and God, a two-way relationship in which man should not only talk to God but also listen to Him.
Whether we pray as part of a collective worship, or privately at home or in a church or the outdoors, we often have a favourite themes or prayers. Some of these are very personal, others we like to share.
Shown below are links to 3 websites which have inspired us. Please use them for prayer and to reflect on the messages and comfort they can provide:
| The words used in our hymns are often a source of comfort and prayer for many people. This great hymn is a favourite of one of our congregation as a life guide and prayer. Please share it too. |
Father, hear the Prayer we offer
Father, hear the prayer we offer;
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
Not for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.
Not for ever by still waters
Would we idly rest and stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
Be our Strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our Guide;
Through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side.
