Prayer is a spiritual practice, and daily prayer uses the repetition of forms and words to cultivate a deep, meaningful ritual, drawing the individual into an ever-closer relationship with God.

This book is organised by liturgical season, but is undated, so readers are free to begin using it at any point during the year. The book is concise and easy to use and includes the words of scripture and other necessary text. It is a simple, frictionless tool for spiritual health.

It provides complete texts for Morning Prayers and Evening Prayers, with a new set of texts for each week of the year.

Each week is anchored in its liturgical season: Advent • Christmastide • Epiphany • Lent • Holy Week • Eastertide • Pentecost • Sow & Rest (Ordinary Time) • Harvest & Create (Ordinary Time).

Each set of prayers centres on a scripture passage, with an emphasis on the Psalms.

The prayers draw from familiar historic, classic, and ancient Christian texts, and from Methodism’s rich hymnody. They also feature fresh, original words from new writers.
