Prayer for the Christian is as important as breathing, yet often it's something that does not come easily. Perhaps for this reason, generations of Christians have found saying set prayers for the day so useful. This is something you may already do but if not, do think about trying it. You never know, it may even become a habit!

Of course you can pray wherever you are, so perhaps you might like to think about subscribing to a free daily prayer podcast. The following link will take you to such a site. Each day you can download a short, 10 minute reflection that will include music, a bible reading and a prayerful meditation to ponder upon.

A Daily Devotional

Pray-as-you-go (daily prayer during the week for your mp3 player or to listen to now)

On the other hand, below you will find some links which will take you to  complete prayer services, depending on what language you feel comfortable with.
