Prayers of Life

Our prayers should encompass not only the big themes affecting this world, such as conflicts and injustice but also the lives we live day by day, both at home and work. Bringing to God our concerns about those things which impact on our lives and those of our neighbours and colleagues is so important.The prayer themes covered in this book of over two hundred prayers include blessings, the day ahead, the journey of faith, looking for guidance, people around us, in the world, saying sorry, saying thank you, when times are hard, and conflicts and disasters.John Birch is a Methodist Local Preacher and writer living on the beautiful South Wales coastline.
