Introduction
Having published 500 Prayers for All Occasions and 500 More Prayers for All Occasions I was asked to develop a new series of books of prayer for use in small groups or in the home.
There are at least forty prayers in each of these books based around a single theme. Most of the content comes from my first two books of prayer for public worship, but has been revised and re-worked to make it appropriate for use in churches, small groups, the family situation, or for personal quiet time devotions.
My church background was firmly in the camp of extemporary prayer. I started to write my prayers down due to nervousness and on the advice of my preaching mentor who insisted on careful preparation not only of the hymns, readings, and sermon, but also of the prayers. I have long since realised the value of having a resource to be used as a flexible launch pad for my own prayer life which I could use and adapt as I wished.
I hope that is how you will approach these simple aids to prayer. They have been deliberately written in an uncomplicated style and with language that seeks to illuminate the joy of prayer. I have also tried to ensure that they are written in the language we use in our daily conversations. The aim of this is designed to make them easier to ‘pray’ and not simply to ‘read’.

One World
Lord, we pray for those who are hungry in a world of plenty;
for those who do not know where their next meal is coming from;
and for those who can only watch as their children die.
Lord, help us to provide for them.
The Lord hears our prayer.
Thanks be to God.
Lord, we pray for those who cry for justice for the poor;
for those who speak out for those whose voices are not heard;
and for those who work unselfishly for those who cannot work for themselves.
Lord, give them strength in their endeavours.
The Lord hears our prayer.
Thanks be to God.
Lord, we pray for those who do not want our pity—
they simply want a new chance;
for those who do not want our help—
they simply want fairness;
for those who need aid, but would rather
be allowed the opportunity to live and to grow for themselves.
Please open up new opportunities for them.
The Lord hears our prayer.
Thanks be to God.
Lord, we pray for the church, your people throughout the world.
We ask for the courage to speak for those deprived of a voice;
the willingness to share the pain of those whose hands are empty;
and the power to stand up for the powerless, the lost, and
those with no hope—and to go on standing, no matter the cost.
The Lord hears our prayer.
Thanks be to God.
In the name of Christ, who like the Father is always on the side of the poor. Amen.
Those Who Remember
Prepare a set of four candles. Light a new candle as you begin each prayer.
We light this candle for those who remember
the ones who went to war and never returned;
who set out in the prime of life
and whose bodies and minds and lives were damaged
by all they had seen and
