Christian Prayers & Resources

Christian Prayer and Liturgy Resources

Christian Prayer within worship is a conversation, but sometimes the words dry up when we start talking to the creator of the universe! At times like this it can be useful to dip into prayers that others have written, as they can often inspire us and open our minds to new ways of praising and worshipping our God.

Early Christian prayers show how connected the Celtic church was to the God who created this world, and it's good to remind ourselves of the rich Christian heritage of prayer and worship that we are now stewards of.

This is a collection of new Celtic inspired prayers and liturgy written in the beauty of the Welsh Countryside for private and public use, together with a selection of prayers from other sources, worship resources and suggested books on prayer.

New! Prayers from Carmina Galetica
From the oral tradition this is a selection of prayers which bridge the pagan/Christian times of Scotland (more)

Bless those who are peacemakers
From all creeds and cultures
All who bring no other agenda
Than to see neighbour and stranger
Live together as one community
A: Bless the peacemakers
B: Strengthen and bless them

Bless those who are comforters
Shoulders to cry upon
Willing ears to listen
A present help in times
Of despair and hopelessness
A: Bless the comforters
B: Strengthen and bless them

Bless those who are healers
Of physical injury
And deeper hurts
Whose touch brings relief
From trauma and pain
Who brings compassion
A: Bless the healers
B: Strengthen and bless them

Use these hands to carry the burden
Use this voice to carry your word
Use these feet to walk in your footsteps
Use this heart to transform the world

God of light and God of night
Creator of seed and mountain
raindrop and fountain
We bring our offering of praise.
God of right and God of might
Lover of child and childless
rich and homeless
We bring our offering of praise

May the God of peace
bring peace to this house
May the Son of peace
bring peace to this house
May the Spirit of peace
bring peace to this house
this night and all nights
