Prayer is being aware of God. This takes many forms. As well as live-streamed daily worship, there are all sorts of resources available to deepen our prayers and encourage our faith. The range of resources reflects the variety of prayer styles that suit different personalities. As Dom John Chapman said, “pray as you can, not as you can’t”.
Praying for people and the world is one part of prayer. You can light a candle and write a prayer on our virtual prayer wall below.
“Examen” is a form of prayer that helps us discern the presence of God in our everyday lives. Here is one of the many versions available online.
For a combination of music and reflection, Pray as you Go offers a daily programme (about 15 mins) of music, bible reading and a guided reflection.
For those who enjoy silence, guidance is available from the World Community of Christian Meditation as well as the Cathedral’s guide to Silent Prayer and Ways into Silence
There are lots of sources of daily Christian reflections. Here are a few we know to be good quality:
The Franciscan Richard Rohr writes on faith and the spiritual life for today
Henri Nouwen was a Jesuit and spiritual guide in the 20th Century promoting compassion and community
Lectio 365 is a daily devotional app that helps you prayerfully engage with the bible every day
For those who enjoy art, Arts and Faith is a celebration of creative expressions of faith.
Please use this virtual prayer wall to leave your prayers. You can choose to light a virtual candle. We invite you to pray for our world, the nation, our communities and all those you love.
Each day one of the Cathedral clergy will pray these prayers.
You are welcome to join us for our regular services. These services include prayers for the world, this country and its people and we invite you to pray with us from home at these times.

That my son starts to be successful in his job by achieving his daily targets. He is not able to do this at the moment despite trying. It is a temporary contract and could be renewed if he does this. Very worried for him as this job is vital so that he can continue living away from home. Also that he is happy and healthy always . Thank you
Please pray for the healing of C
Please pray for me, a man with a broken heart. I lost someone dear without closure. I pray we speak before May 15, for her return, our bond restored, and for God’s will and peace. Thank you.
