Prayer Resources

Prompt Me to Pray by Monica McConkey presents practical tips for prayer that can be easily customized to fit our busy lives, habits, daily tasks, and even our struggles. Recognizing our littleness as an inexhaustible source of Prompts to Pray helps us to reach out humbly in prayer when we need Him most and reminds us that God can use all things for good.

Prompt Me to Pray through Holy Week

March 12, 2021 by Monica McConkey Leave a Comment

Prompt Me to Pray through Holy Week journeys through the last week of the Public Ministry of Jesus, through The Last Supper, His Suffering and Death on the Cross, through to His Resurrection. Each of the 8 days, offers an illustrated Prompt to Pray. We reflect on a Scriptural account of what Jesus did and taught, explore the virtue He exemplifies, and receive a Prompt to Pray, more consistently and from the heart!
