TryPraying (Booklet)

… an invitation to experience the kindness of God.

Does anyone listen when we pray?  Is there anyone there who cares about our lives?  Most people pray at some time in their life.  Things can happen when we pray and so often people discover there’s someone who listens.  But it’s not just religious people. Millions of people who are not religious also pray.

The desire to reach out to God is basic to many people.  Trypraying is a resource for people like that: no church connection or interest, but open to find out about God.

Begin using the Try Praying 7-day prayer guide yourself.  Become familiar with it.  People have appreciated the accessible style and non-preachy tone and it has been a stimulus to their own prayer life.  As you use it, pray for your own ‘big issue’ and for others you know.  Look for answers as you pray.  Begin to ask God who you can pass it on to.  Pray for a God-given opportunity to give the booklet to a friend, a colleague, a neighbour, or someone you just bump into.  At its simplest, all you need to say in passing it over is:

“This booklet is for people who are not religious. Why don’t you try praying for a week and see what happens?”

Then pass the booklet over.  Easy.
