Prayers on this Website
This is a personal collection or prayers written to be used in private and public worship, together with a selection of worship resources. There is an influence in all these prayers from the Christian heritage of worship that we have inherited in Britain and Ireland from the earliest days of missionary activity - generally referred to as Celtic Christianity.
In the prayers that I have written, the aim is to make them accessible. Too often, I have found that books of prayers contain many prayers which I could not use in services which I take due to the language used/ thoughts expressed not relating to the congregations that I minister to, and I have sought to redress this by writing prayers that can be used in most situations.
If you find them a blessing then why not purchase the collection?
The prayers naturally gather under various headings as shown below

'God writes the Gospel
not in the Bible alone
but also on the trees
and in the flowers
clouds and stars.'
Martin Luther
Our God, God of all men
God of heaven and earth, seas and rivers,
God of sun and moon, of all the stars,
God of high mountain and lowly valley,
God over heaven, and in heaven, and under heaven.
He has a dwelling in heaven and earth and sea
and in all things that are in them.
He inspires all things, he quickens all things.
He is over all things, he supports all things.
He makes the light of the sun to shine,
He surrounds the moon and the stars,
He has made wells in the arid earth,
Placed dry islands in the sea.
He has a Son co-eternal with himself...
And the Holy Spirit breathes in them;
Not separate are the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
(Patrick c389-461)
May God the Father bless us;
may Christ take care of us;
the Holy Ghost enlighten us all the days of our life.
The Lord be our defender and keeper of body and soul,
both now and for ever, to the ages of ages.
(Æthelwold c 908-984)
