Podcast’s up! For anyone who missed Newt’s talk on Prayer yesterday or if you’d like to hear it again, it’s available for your listening pleasure at https://www.saintaugustines.org/podcasts

At its simplest, prayer is talking to God. At its deepest, prayer is conversation with God. At its best, prayer is communion with God. Join us as we begin this new season of practicing prayer together 🙏🏻

To go with our new series A Life of Prayer, here are a couple of apps we think are brilliant. Why not give one a whirl this morning?

Pray As You Go
Pray As You Go is a daily prayer session, designed to go with you wherever you go, to help you pray whenever you find time—whether it’s out for a walk, on the bus or waiting to get on to the Greenlane onramp. It is not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer. A new prayer session is produced every day of the working week and one session for the weekend. Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format. Each session lasts around 10 minutes, and combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection.

Inner Room
Inner Room from 24-7 Prayer is a prayer list app designed to equip, enable and inspire you to pray more and more meaningfully for the things that matter to you. You can add people and situations to a visual prayer board, categorise your prayers and add them to ‘prayer playlists’ which you can organise by theme, time, or week. The app sends notifications to remind you to pray, and you can choose how long you want to pray for and even your background music.

If you didn’t catch Newt’s list of ’books you might find helpful’ over our new series A Life if Prayer, here’s the list. It’s not always that easy to find books like these in local book stores in NZ. We love supporting local, but if you’re having trouble finding these titles, there are some wonderful independent book sellers in Auckland who will get almost any book in for you, all three are available from The Book Depository and the first two are available as eBooks through Kindle and Kobo, and as audiobooks from Audible.

Hearing God by Dallas Willard
How do we hear God's voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What if what God says to us is not clear? This book is a great primer of how prayer is the basis of an interactive relationship/friendship with God, and how God speaks to people. Available in hardcopy, as an eBook and as an audiobook.
Dirty Glory by Pete Grieg
This book is packed full of provocative theology, challenging teaching and incredible stories from the 24/7 prayer movement that seek to integrate prayer and action. This book won the UK Christian Book of the Year on 2017. Available in hardcopy, as an eBook and as an audiobook.

Answering God by Eugene Peterson
In this little beauty, Eugene Peterson shows how the Psalms are a framework for prayer. As he says: "we tend to think that prayer is what good people do when they are doing their best. It is not…It is the means by which we get everything in our lives out in the open before God," — and this book shows how the Psalms help us to do exactly this. Available in hardcopy.

Here it is, bright and early for your Monday morning, John Mark Comer's talk from our combined service with Central Vineyard. So, so good for your soul :-) You can find it on our podcast page at https://www.saintaugustines.org/podcasts/
