Time to Pray
“For me, prayer has always been a little bit of a quagmire. I’ve been used to throwing up quick prayers when I felt at the end of my tether, but I’ve struggled to have anything that was structured and consistent. Then Matthew invited me to be a part of Time to Pray.
“Three times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) there’s a gathering, all available online or in person on a Tuesday. These sessions provide a small moment in the day when we can pause and pray. They are guided by a leader and responder, using the Church of England’s free Time To Pray app, but also allow us to have a moment of intercession as well.
“Although I can only make it to the Wednesday evening sessions due to work commitments, I find that this is a moment of structured pause in the middle of the week. It’s a moment outside of the Sunday service to be reconnected to the church, pray with others and bring myself back on track in my worship.”
