Prayer Resources

Here are a range of resources for praying with. They've come from a variety of sources. Many were penned by Revd Chris Palmer, others come from Southwark Diocese spirituality newsletter, Formed by the Spirit, whilst others come from books and have been attributed.

Whilst these are offered as a help, it can often be good to talk with someone about our praying, rather than just rely on written material.
