In our journey into God’s presence and deeper into the world, various resources can be of help. This page offers some that have been produced for those with 15 minutes available which can be used to pause, be still and offer prayer.

Pause for Prayer

At All Saints’ Didcot we broadcast a weekly “Pause for Prayer” taking 10 – 15 minutes, based on a short Bible reading, with some informal prayers and silence to allow us to remember our own concerns in the presence of God.

Pause to Contemplate

It is good to take more time in silence, to allow our thoughts to be acknowledged and placed into God’s hands and allow God to be with us and speak to us. Many find guided meditations helpful in this, ones that give some prompts but plenty of silence. During the silence we might repeat a prayer word such as “Jesus”, “peace”, “grace” or the Jesus Prayer. The following are experiments in this format that may be of help.
