LENT VOICES — STORIES
John
Reflecting on prayer in everyday life.
One of our Lent Voices reflections from the Chilwell Parish community.
“I pray when everyone in the house is fast asleep”
In this weeks video, John shares how he finds space to pray at the end of the day — when the house is quiet and there are no distractions.
Jesus told his friends to find a private time and place to pray, perhaps so that we can be ourselves before God, without worrying what others think.
Reflection question
- Do you have a time and a place where you can be yourself and talk honestly with God?
- Can you tell God honestly what or who is on your heart right now? Family, work, health, a confession, or something else.

If you’d like a simple way to begin or end the day in prayer, you might try Everyday Faith from the Church of England.
It offers a short rhythm of prayer, Bible reading, and reflection — designed to fit into everyday life.
Because it’s brief and easy to return to, it can help you pause and turn to God during the day.
We’ve also gathered together a range of simple apps and guides to help you build a rhythm of prayer in everyday life.
