      About the Author

      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’.

      Prayers of Approach

      Knowing You Love Us

      Father, we come as your children knowing you love us.

      We come with no hope of proving our worth.

      We come as those who through grace

      you have already accepted to worship you, our Saviour and Lord.

      We come knowing our strengths and our weaknesses

      to the one who holds all things by the power of his word.
