More than 250 step-by-step prayer times and interviews with nuns and monks enable you to explore and experience Christian prayer and meditation. Including:
Take two weeks to savour ten guided prayer times with space for silence and listening to God.
You'll also learn from the wisdom of nuns and monks with ten short, inspiring interviews about: listening to God, dealing with distractions and hearing God's still small voice.
You’ll learn directly from the experts through five-minute interviews with nuns and monks plus short Bible-based guided meditations.
Find peace in challenging times through the 14-Day Prayer Challenge for Peace.
Each of these audio sessions will help you focus on God by listening to scripture, both for those new to prayer and those familiar with it.
Each session lasts only ten minutes, so they can easily fit into your daily routine.
Deepen your prayer life with mindfulness that centres on God's grace and riches.
You'll spend between ten and 20 minutes becoming alert to God's presence both in your prayer time and throughout the day.
Explore the life and words of Jesus in more depth with these 20-minute audio prayer times.
Each is a guided prayer time based on the 'I am' passages of John's Gospel – for example Jesus' words, 'I am the light of the world'.
You’ll imagine yourself in the scene, aided by the words of the Bible and special sound effects.
Have you ever wanted to hear God more clearly, but not known where to start?
These ten-minute guided prayer times will help you focus on listening to God.
The sessions are designed to help you become more attuned to God throughout the day, not just in your prayer time.
These sessions are five-minute mini prayer times you can use throughout the day.
Just five minutes to get on the right foot as you start your day, then through the day, with midday, afternoon and evening prayer.
The series is based on Daily Office – the work of nuns and monks.
These sessions are themed – for example, for times when you're in need of rest, or thanksgiving.
They are based on Bible stories, such as Jesus' meeting with the woman of Samaria and his offer of 'life-giving water'.
We pray that all who use these prayer times will experience the grace of Jesus.
Prayer times to guide you through Christmas and Advent.
These sessions offer one prayer time for each weekday morning and longer prayer times for the weekend.
We hope that all who use this series will experience greater calm, and focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
These prayer times are for those who want to join the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York's call to pray.
Each session is designed to be used from Ascension to Pentecost, but can be used for intercession throughout the year.
The prayers will help you to pray for other people during this international call to prayer.
If you're a Christian who wants to keep on track with a rhythm of prayer, you don't always have time to spend hours choosing Bible verses, and if you're a parent, the days of juggling tasks are here! That's why we'll show you, step by step, how to get into a routine of prayer... and that's what you'll get with Discovering Prayer.
If you're passionate about prayer, but going through a challenging time, then joining the Discovering Prayer community can be a real source of strength and encouragement. It's when things are hard that we're most aware of our need to be close to Jesus. When it's difficult to pray, grab a coffee, press play and join in with Discovering Prayer at a time and place that's convenient for you.
If you're seeking God, or would describe yourself as spiritual but not religious, where do you go for spiritual sustenance? You want to explore, and have perhaps tried mindfulness, but are wondering if the ancient tradition of Christian meditation offers some riches. Discovering Prayer is a non-judgemental space for you to explore Christian meditation. All our guided audio prayer times draw from the ancient text of the Bible. Our aim is to help you grow closer to God.
If you're a church leader, you'll want to keep up to date with new ways to engage people in prayer. How can you support them at times when you are not there? As a Discovering Prayer member, you'll be part of a praying community... receiving new insights in how to teach people to pray... and experiencing the sustenance of being part of an online praying community.
Is Discovering Prayer Christian?
Yep! Discovering Prayer is very grateful to Bishop Colin, the former Bishop of Dorchester, for providing oversight during the creation of the organisation. Michelle Eyre, Discovering Prayer's founder, became a Christian at the age of 19 in an independent church in South London called Ichthus Christian Fellowship. Since then she has worshipped at a variety of churches and tried out being a nun. Michelle is now a member of St Aldates, Oxford, which is part of the Church of England.
Can I take part in Discovering Prayer if I'm not a Christian?
Yes, you are very welcome. Discovering Prayer is for everyone. We use the Bible as the basis for prayer and meditation, and you're warmly welcome to take part.
How long will it take for me to get access to the library of audio prayer times?
Access is provided straightaway.
Why are you charging for prayer?
We aren't charging for prayer, we're charging to cover the costs of running a complex website and professional recordings. We want to reach tens of thousands more people, to record the whole of St John's Gospel, and to be sustainable.
Is Discovering Prayer funding anyone to drive a fancy BMW?
Er no! Discovering Prayer is a registered charity. Our aim is to keep the cost to all members as low as possible. All our finances are overseen by a board of trustees as well as the Charity Commission. We're very grateful to religious communities and organisations who have enabled us to work towards becoming sustainable: the Community of Saint Mary the Virgin, Wantage, the Community of Saint John Baptist, the Pershore, Nashdom and Elmore Trust, the Diocese of Oxford and others who have given confidentially. Without the support of members and these communities, Discovering Prayer would not exist.
Can I pay using my credit card or Paypal?
Yes! We take your security seriously. You can make a secure payment using either your credit card or Paypal. If you have any difficulties at all with the sign-in process, please contact emma@discoveringprayer.com and we'll gladly help.
I'd like to join, but can't afford it.
Please get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, there's a 30-day, no questions asked money-back guarantee.
'I am a wife, mum, priest and accountant. Discovering Prayer caught my imagination as a really good place to go to find new ways of praying. It was an opportunity for me to learn to pray in a different way while being accompanied by someone. You can read a book but to have someone talking it through is really helpful.'
Revd Elizabeth Robertson
