This 'Special Collection of New and Classic Prayers' collated by Joyce Huggett includes hymns, meditations, well-known prayers, new prayers and some pure Scripture.
I found it a little disconcerting that some items are really poems rather than prayers, and some are expressed as though written by God. Sparingly employed, this is no doubt a legitimate literary device, but there is so much of it - one prayer is even introduced as a 'prophetic word' - that I began to feel as though too much was being claimed.
