Daily Prayer for your MP3 player
“Pray-as-you-go” is a 10-12 minute daily prayer session which can be heard online through your computer, or downloaded to a portable MP3 player. It is intended to help you pray while traveling to and from work, study, etc. A new prayer session is produced every day. It is not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a Bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer combining music, Scripture and some questions for reflection. Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format.
