We want to encourage you to find a way to pray, day by day.
In the Morning
I start each day with the Bible.
Over the years I have used many different resources. My favourites include:
- The book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day, a 40-Day Journey with the Daily Office by Peter Scazzero
- The Tom Wright commentaries in the For Everyone series.
At Lunchtime
We are using Prayer During The Day as the service order. It is very short, say 10-15 minutes and everything you need is included so you don’t even need a bible!
Mike and Ali are also using this service each day at 12:00noon. So if you want to you could use the same prayers at the same time.
This is also available via the Time to Pray app for a smartphone or tablet.
Download it now on from the App Store or get it on Google Play.
At Night
At the end of the day I review the day with God. This is called the examen and comes from St Ignatius (1491-1556).
You can read Peter Grieg's Introduction to The Examen to learn more.
This has been one of the most formative spiritual practices in my life.
