Sacred Space The Prayer Book 2012's the eighth edition of the popular website www.sacredspace.ie. As the book and the site continue to grow in popularity, thousands of people around the world are using both to pray. The site alone was used by more than five million people last year. We invite you to make a sacred space in your day and spend ten minutes praying here and now, wherever you are, with the help of a prayer guide and scripture chosen specially for each day. Every place is a sacred space, so you may wish to have this book in your desk at work, available to be picked up and read at any time of the day, whilst travelling, or on your bedside table. Remember that God is everywhere, all around us, constantly reaching out to us, even in the most unlikely situations. When we know this, and with a bit of practice, we can pray anywhere. 'Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.' The Lord replied, 'My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set o f footprints, it was then that I carried you.'
