Prayer at St Leonards

Prayer is turning to our God in our hearts and with our minds. It is talking to him in trust so that we make a relationship with him. We ask him for the good things we need and to help us when we are anxious and worried. When we realize how good he is, we praise and thank him.

How to pray

Life is busy and to set aside time, even if only 10 minutes, to pray needs a lot of will power and need for God. Any time you turn to God and speak to him is prayer is of great value. For example this can be done on the bus, while cleaning your teeth, or cooking, or mowing the grass.
