Pray Now is a collection of modern prayers that can be used by all denominations, by individuals, prayer groups and leaders of worship. Each year, our relationship with God is explored through a theme. This year's theme is ‘Environment’.
Wherever we go, whatever we do, the environment has a profound effect on our lives. The daily prayers in this book will help you to reflect on a world where climate change, international conflict and disasters are keenly sensed and communicated by the global community. We also celebrate the beauty and power of the natural world, and the role of people in God’s creation. The prayers are offered to readers as a way to create an environment of devotion within Christian living.
Pray Now gives a place to start when you feel you have no words of your own, and prayer activities that allow time to think and space to listen. They also prompt action and movement when the words just don't seem enough.
Whether you are sitting quietly in your favourite chair, or at your desk at work, or listening in the car or kitchen, at home or on holiday, the variety of environments we find ourselves in, and God's voice within them, will be understood and appreciated in a deeper, enriching way.
It is wonderful how each week our prayer group meet I find something in the book which just meets our situation at that particular time. This group – not all members of our church – have become the core of prayer life in our community.’
Rev. Barbara Flood-Page, Thatcham United Reformed Church
