Take a moment to breath quietly,

pray, or submit a prayer request.

Feel free to pray in your own words or if you prefer, use one of these written prayers prayed by Christians for centuries. Pray them with feeling and with attention and they will become your prayers too.

For those we love

Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to your never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come, knowing that you are doing for them better things than we can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For those seeking a deeper relationship with God

God be in my head, and in my under-standing; God be in my eyes and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at my end, and at my departing. Amen.

For a Person in Trouble or Bereavement

O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly affilct or grieve the children of men: Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servant for whom our prayers are offered. Remember him, O lord, in mercy, nourish his soul with patience, comfort him with a sense of thy goodness, lift up thy countenace upon him, and give him peace through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
