"A New Birth to a Living Hope - Prayer Resources from Steve Janco
Steve Janco provides a simple three-part prayer format suitable for use by individuals, families, or small groups gathered online: Scripture reading, litany of intercession, concluding prayer. The resource includes multiple options for each part: four scripture readings, three litanies, and twelve concluding prayers—allowing the prayer to be prayed periodically with variations or with a different focus. Apart from the scriptures and the Litany of Saints (adapted), the texts are newly written. The first page of the resource provides an introduction and some additional information.
