Where it all begins

Prayer is the first book of The Quiet Hours — born from a simple desire: to experience the daily rhythm of ancient prayer and liturgy in language and systems we could actually use and understand.

These older rhythms and practices, by God’s slow and faithful work, can fundamentally reshape us as followers of Jesus.

You don’t have to hide who you are to be here. In the quiet, you can bring all that you are and all that you’re afraid you’re not.

The story begins

Creation, the Exodus, and the God who calls ordinary people by name.

As it is in heaven

Join the disciples, as they learn to pray from Jesus, then go on to teach the world.

Heart of the Psalms

Meditations on the heights and depths of life, and of the love of God.

The shape of a day

Each day is divided into Morning and Evening Prayer. No streaks, no pop-ups. Just a few moments of stillness to listen for the voice of God.

Morning Prayer

Opening Prayer

Confession

Two Lessons

Guided Prayers — from history, today, and your own heart

Evening Prayer

Psalms — echoing the morning’s themes

Wisdom — daily thoughts from classic Christian writers

Three ancient practices — Lectio Divina, the Examen, and the Jesus Prayer

Night blessings — final prayers before rest and sleep

“It is my prayer that in your quietest hours, you would find the love of God surrounding you, the resurrection of Jesus transforming you, and the friendship of the Spirit alive within you.”

— Andrew Osenga, creator of The Quiet Hours

Where the prayers come from

The Book of Common Prayer

Built on Thomas Cranmer’s five-hundred-year-old collection, written so ordinary people could share the church’s daily rhythm of prayer.

Voices across the centuries

Prayers from Christians across centuries and continents — St. Augustine, Thomas à Kempis, Julian of Norwich — and some written freshly for these books.

Scripture throughout

Old and New Testament lessons every morning, Psalms every evening, from the Christian Standard Bible.

The other seasons

Waiting

Here in the middle of the story, the answers come slowly and the road is long.

Adventure

You are stepping into something new, where danger lurks and beauty calls.

Bring the trilogy home
