A Daily Prayer Book


Have you heard about EACH? It stands for Everyone A Chance to Hear, and it's a movement of the churches in the greater Detroit area to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every person living in Southeast Michigan.

Starting today, for 40 days leading up to Easter, thousands of Christians are uniting to pray and fast, asking the Lord to bless the 2word story campaign, another 40 day period beginning on Easter Sunday.

Recently I discovered the Common Book of Prayer, and thought what a shame that those of us outside the Catholic Church have lost sight of the importance of setting aside times throughout the day for prayer. So, for the next 40 days, I will be attempting to cultivate a habit of prayer, and writing my prayers and meditations down in this little book.

Feel free to copy it for yourself- there is half a page per day, so make ten front-to-back copies of page 1 to cover the 40 day period. Page 2 is a cover, with 40 readings to complete the entire New Testament in 40 days on the back.
