Prayer is integral to our life as Christians. Prayer involves listening and talking to God, anytime, anywhere. It helps us grow closer to God and hear God’s desires for our world, our communities and ourselves.
During 2026, we are having an especial focus on prayer, building on our 24-hour Wave of Prayer in September 2024.
“Across our diocese of Bath and Wells I would like to make 2026 a year of especial focus on prayer. To be clear, this is not because I think we’re not praying. We are. But could we learn to pray better and pray more? I think we could. Might we do better if we sought to learn from each other? Almost definitely. Might focusing more on prayer shape us to become the people God has created us to be? Certainly. Could we become the answer to our prayers? In God’s good grace I hope so.”
