A Daily Prayer Guide

I have compiled these 31 prayers, one for each day of the month, as a way of giving structure to my daily prayer time. They combine written prayers from Scripture with prayers written by disciples of Jesus through the centuries. The written prayers stir our hearts and lift our heads to gaze upon the beauty of God. They give us words when we are speechless and strength during the days of darkness and doubt that we all encounter.

Built into the daily prayer are opportunities for spontaneous prayers from our heart these are set apart by ( ). At the center of each prayer are the words of Jesus. We are invited to move slowly and thoughtfully through His life-giving words, seeking what He would say to us personally. We are then invited to bring the needs of ours' and others' before God, and then finish with a closing prayer.

Feel free to begin by listening to a song(s) to prepare your heart. At the bottom of the site you can select specific songs. If you would like silence at any time then just hit the pause button. God-centered music and silence prepares our heart to receive His words lovingly and instructively spoken to us. We are then ready to joyfully respond to our Father.

May God bless us with the gift of Himself! May our daily prayer transform our hearts into the likeness of Jesus, and give us focus and strength to face our day with the eternal perspective of God’s kingdom unfolding among and through us here on earth as it is in heaven.
