Welcome to the Prayer 7s Challenge

How much do you love God? The practice of Christian daily prayer grew from the Jewish practice of reciting prayers at set times of the day. Can you commit to the challenge?

God is there for us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! We challenge you to give him back 1 hour a day, in blocks of 5-10 mins at a time.

For hundreds of years, Anglican and Roman Catholic clergy have keep what is called 'The Daily Office' or 'The Divine Office'. Priests and vicars, monks in monasteries, or nuns in convents, alone in their rooms or formally together in church or chapel, early morning and again in the evening, they kneel in prayer.

We have taken the formal New Zealand Lectionary prayers and present them to you in shortened version, divided up throughout the day.

Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.. . . Psalm 119:164
