At Discovering Prayer we believe there's more than one way to pray and that with a little practice you can unlock the wisdom of ancient Christians and have a more fulfilling prayer life. If you've ever struggled to pray, or want to learn Christian meditation but don't know where to start, Discovering Prayer can help.

We offer four different types of audio prayers available online and an Android app which is free on the Google Store (iOS app coming soon):

1. Absorbing God's Word: These 10 minute prayer and meditation sessions draw on the ancient tradition of divine reading (Lectio Divina) practiced by Christians since the 3rd century. This series is a good place to start if you value the Bible at the heart of prayer and meditation.
2. Praying with Imagination: These 15 and 20 minute sessions draw from the Ignation idea of imagining scenes at the Bible as if we are physically present. This helps us to deepen our understanding of scripture and to remember what we've read. This series is for those who have a little more time to linger in prayer.
3. Listening to God: These 10 minute meditations introduce a way of relaxing and listening to God and learning to allow silence; as we learn to rest in God's presence we are more able to 'hear' from God through out the day. This series is for those who want to begin to explore the riches of silence, relaxation and a deepening awareness of God's presence.
4. PrayPal: These 5 minute selections of prayers and readings are inspired by some of the earliest Christian writings (the Didache) which advised three prayer times a day - morning, noon and evening. They also incorporate elements of monastic office, or church service. This series is for busy people who don't always have time for lengthy prayers. So if you're very busy you might like to try popping on your headphones and integrating a monastic style prayer into your everyday life.
