Forty Day Prayer Guide

This prayer guide is intended to be used over the Lent period.

We are also encouraging people to do at least one act of kindness daily and record it in your prayer journal.

This prayer guide is a daily prayer guide.

It works best if used in the early morning, but which will fit into your daily life and you can include it in your personal study time.

These prayers to take no longer than fifteen minutes each day.

There are intentionally only three prayer points per day so people don’t get overwhelmed.

SAFETY

Children and vulnerable adults

This guide is not suitable for children or vulnerable adults to use because of its emphasis on getting to know neighbours. While the vast majority of people living on our streets would not harm a child or vulnerable adult, we are concerned about the growing issues surrounding abuse. We would ask you to be vigilant about this risk when interacting with your neighbours.

Other Guidance

We strongly advise that, in getting to know your neighbours, you don’t put yourself in a position where you are on your own with a child, vulnerable adult or someone of the opposite sex. We also ask that all adults adhere to the safeguarding policies of your local church, and inform your church leader that you are using this guide.

Thank you
