Guided prayer is simply a way of making a mini-retreat in the midst of everyday life. It gives an opportunity to take some time out to explore new ways of praying and to deepen your relationship with God. On a Guided Prayer the focus is on praying with Scripture. In this guided prayer, we will focus on a particular verse of Scripture, through repeated readings and guided questions for mediation.
This month we are trying something different to the guided prayer. We suggest you have a pen and paper with you, and journal (that is, writing down what you are thinking and feeling in response to the questions), during the guided prayer time, for later reflection and prayer. You may like to go get a pen and paper and put them beside you before you start.
