Join us as we Pray Like Hannah, every day

Join us in daily prayer from 15 January, as we prepare to welcome people of grandparent generation and their young people to Faithful Generations.

We’re inviting you to say a simple prayer with us once a day, during the ordinary things that are happening in our lives. Whether we are washing up, sending a text, or watering the plants; we’ll all be encouraged to pray for the whole family of God, but thinking particularly about the lives of the children around us. Be inspired every day, via Instagram, Facebook or Youtube.

For the start of 2025, we’re encouraging Christians to Pray Like Hannah. Hannah was a woman in the Bible who prayed intensely for God to give her a child. In her case, her prayers were granted, but the story isn’t really about that, it’s about the depth and the strength of her love for God and how it transformed her world.

If you pray regularly, or even if you don’t, we’d love you to join in.

Pray Like Hannah: Resources for worshipping communities

We want to get as many people as possible praying, so we have created a suite of social media resources that you can also share on your parish or personal social media.

The first daily video looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/A5VTSh3O1T8

If you would like to, you can share from the Diocesan social media channels, or schedule your own using our material; please use the hashtag #PrayLikeHannah
