Daily Prayer Collection

We occasionally encounter people who tell us they have trouble thinking of things to pray about. They express a desire to spend more time in prayer but they just run out of things to say. Below we have provided a collection of prayer "bites" that can easily be added to anyone's daily prayer routine. They cover a wide range of topics and can be modified to meet your own needs. And of course, we want to add that prayers written by someone else are just as effective as those you come up with on your own when they are spoken from the heart.
