Introduction to Daily Prayer

"Pray always." (1 Thes. 5,17) What else does this simple scriptural sentence mean except that all our lives God calls us to prayer?

Praying is not easy. Every day so many other things call for attention. And the world around us puts little value on prayer; it tells us to put our minds to more important matters. It is not easy to pray today.

Yet God tells us to pray.

This compilation of prayers may help. It has some short morning and evening prayers drawn from the psalms and the scriptures. It also includes selections from the word of God. During the Advent, Christmas, and Lenten seasons, which are the great seasons of prayer for the church, you will find special resources at this web site.

As you use this site, may the Holy Spirit within you come to your aid and guide you gently to the God who loves you.
