Prayer library
Prayers for every need
Prayers made only of King James verses, and prayers the church has prayed for centuries from the old public-domain prayer books. None of them is written by us or by AI.
Morning prayers
9 prayers
Prayers to begin the day: Psalms the church has prayed at dawn for three thousand years, and morning prayers from the old prayer books.
Evening prayers
10 prayers
Prayers for the end of the day: giving it back to God, with thanks for what was good and mercy for what was not.
Before sleep
8 prayers
Short prayers for the last minutes of the day, to lie down in peace.
When you are anxious
12 prayers
For the racing mind and the heavy heart. If you are struggling to cope, please also talk to someone: the numbers below are free and open now.
When you are afraid
12 prayers
For fear of what is coming, of the dark, of losing what you love. "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee."
In grief
9 prayers
For when someone you love has died, or is dying. There are no right words; these are old words that others have leaned on. If grief feels too heavy to carry, please also talk to someone: the numbers below are free.
In illness and for healing
8 prayers
For yourself when you are unwell, and for someone you love who is ill. Prayer goes with good medical care, never instead of it.
For family
10 prayers
For the people under your roof and those far away: children, parents, friends, the old and the young.
For guidance
10 prayers
For decisions, new beginnings and the next step when you cannot see the whole road.
Confession and forgiveness
11 prayers
For owning what we have done and left undone, and for the mercy that meets us there. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us."
Thanksgiving
13 prayers
For saying thank you: for the day, for people, for rescue, for ordinary good things.
Praise
12 prayers
For adoring God for who he is, not only for what he gives.
How the library is made: Scripture prayers use only whole KJV verses, in order, with a short traditional opening or closing from the prayer book. Classic prayers are copied by machine from the named public-domain edition, so not a word is changed. More about how we make this.
