TryPraying invites people to begin talking to God and makes suggestions for how to start - the invitation is to try praying for 7 days and see what happens. A smartphone app and a booklet are available. Prayer is conversation with God. You don't need to use special words or a special voice. You can pray out loud or silently. God knows what you think and is aware of all you do. So, you can talk to him about anything. Try praying - it's easier than you think. Abbey Church has recently provided funding support to enable the TryPraying message to be displayed on East Coast Buses travelling in our area; this initiative was led locally by Ormiston Church and we have been pleased to support the campaign.
