I am re-reading all my David Adam books. I've been privileged to hear him speak on two occasions. His faith is warm and real and practical, imaginative and full of love, and he is neither too simple nor too abstract. There are many echoes through the books, as prayers and themes are restated, yet this is not so much repetitive, as like the interweaving of the Celtic motifs illustrated, and serves to gently reinforce the message.
As I re-read, I remember how I used some of these prayers many years ago, such as the Caim (encircling), and what help they brought. And I realise that some of the prayers, including ones he quotes, have become part of my life.
I often include a David Adam prayer when I lead intercessions at church; the non-rhyming ones are best for that.

nice useful prayers in the celtic tradition very reflective ( )
