Be still and know that I am God

Prayer is a deep listening into the presence of God with all that we are - body, mind and soul. Nurtured by prayer, the human heart yearns to worship the creator of all things, to be at one with God. Prayer and worship form the rhythm of the Christian life, both public and private, drawing us into an everlasting community of hospitality, forgiveness, love and grace.

Daily Prayer

From the the earliest times, Christians began a rhythm of daily prayer. Praying was not simply about petitioning God, it was about absorbing oneself in the presence of God. This meant leaning to 'pray the scriptures' so that eventually they would read you, rather than you them. This became the monastic tradition which to this day is the basis of Morning and Evening Prayer in the Church of England. You can pray this rhythm yourself by following the link below:
