Forgiving Others

This prayer was written by Kyle and posted to his blog Vindicated.  Kyle wrote this as a way to help himself thorough forgiving others – a requirement of God we are reminded of every time we pray the Lord’s Prayer.  It seems to me to be an excellent prayer for any follower of Christ to [...]

Praying With Augustine

Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you. In my unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with me, but I was not with you. [...]

A Prayer All Pastors Should Pray

I ran across this prayer in my internet wanderings and thought I would post it.  It is supposedly a prayer Martin Luther prayed in the church sacristy before each church service.  I think if more pastors prayed this, the church would be in much better shape than it is. Lord God, You have made me [...]

Theology FAIL: Praying for Obama’s Death

A sadder commentary on the state of Christianity in our nation I cannot believe exists.  This is from Ben Myer’s blog “Faith and Theology.”  See the link below. And apparently t-shirts and bumper stickers are available as well . . . Capitalism at it’s best too. Apparently some Southern Baptist pastors have been using Psalm [...]

A Prayer

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing [...]

Lord, You have always given peace for the coming day; and though of anxious heart, today I believe. Lord, [...]

A Morning Prayer

“We give thanks to you, heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ your dear Son, that you have protected us through the night from all danger and harm. We ask you to preserve and keep us, this day also, from all sin and evil, that in all our thoughts, words, and deeds we may serve and please [...]

Our Father in Heaven

Our Father in heaven, holy is your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, [...]

Cardinal Newman’s Prayer for A Holy Rest

O Lord support us all the day long Until the evening comes, The shadows lengthen and the busy world is hushed, The fever of life is over and our work is done. Then Lord in your Mercy, Give us a safe lodging, A Holy rest and peace at the last. Amen Technorati Tags: Cardinal Newman [...]

St. Ignatius' Prayer for Generosity

Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you as you deserve;      to give and not to count the cost,      to fight and not to heed the wounds,      to toil and not to seek for rest,      to labor and not to ask for reward,      save that of knowing [...]
