Reflecting on God's word and prayer are at the heart of our relationship with God. In happy times, sad times or anxious times, we can bring our worries, hopes, and joys to Him, and find ourselves challenged by what we read in the Bible.

​

The following resources are available to support your prayers and reflections. Some are print-based, others come through an email, and yet others through an app that you can download onto your smartphone (if you have one). Some are written reflections, others have music and spoken words. Some are free, and others you need to pay for.
