Personal Prayer

If you need help to pray on your own, you may like to start by thinking about God's power, and how awesome He is. It would probably help to think of some things you can thank Him for in your own life.

Maybe you will feel able to talk to Him about all sorts of things. Perhaps you can bring some very big things before Him, like global warming and the environment, world problems like poverty and hunger ...

Then more local cares - like the folk in your street, your neighbours and family ...

And finally, with your own concerns in perspective, lay your own life before God in prayer. He knows and cares and loves you ... invite Him to help. May you find God through prayer.

There is now a wonderful resource to help you in your prayer life on the Forum for this web site. If you click here you will be taken to the Prayer Corner where people are sharing their prayer right now. You can read what others are praying - but you will need to become a member of the Forum to contribute your own prayer. Many people benefit from this quiet resource.

The Methodist Church provides a great way to help you with Prayer of the Day.
