Everyday Faith, Everyday Prayer

October 2024

Dear friends,

One of the great gifts that we have is our freedom to pray. We are not restricted to praying only in church, or at particular times, or only with special words. We can pray where we want, and when we want, and with whatever words may help us to express our thoughts and feelings to God.

But some guidance and support can be helpful, and there are many ways that we can find it. Recently, I have been trying some smartphone apps that can guide us in prayer, and I have found then more helpful than I had expected.

Recently the Church of England has produced a new app called ‘Everyday Faith’, which offers for each day a Bible passage with a brief reflection and prayer, which can be read or listened to in about five minutes. It should be easy to find wherever you get phone apps from, if you search for ‘Everyday Faith’.

It is just one of the many ways that we can be guided and encouraged to use this great gift of prayer that God has entrusted to us.

Revd John Waller
