prayers for different times in the day

praying as dawn breaks is a wonderful way to start your day!

The first section of the site is all about prayer through the day. There are three natural points in the day when we can offer our prayers to God and dwell on his goodness. When we awake, when we eat, and when we lay our heads down at night to sleep.

The morning time is a great time to pray. As the sun rises we have a new opportunity to give ourselves over to God, worship Him and make a brand new start. Everything that has happened before has gone. Here we can invite God to speak to as the day unfolds and offer ourselves over to Him - all our gifts and talents - for Him to take and use.

Praying when we eat is another time when we can come to God in thanks and worship. In the consumerist world in which we live it is all to easy to take for granted something as simple as food and eating. Praying reminds us that everything ultimately comes from the living, creator God.


At night time, we can reflect on the day and remind ourselves of the times we have sensed God with us - his protection and love. Praying before bed is also important because it stills our hearts and prepares us for sleep. The bible exhorts us to "cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). As we lay down to sleep we surrender our worries to God and remind ourselves of his care.
