James 5:16 |

Prayer does not change God.
It changes us.

Helen
Steiner Rice
God is ready and willing to help you.
All you have to do is reach out your hand and you will find Him.
He’s only a prayer away.
John Wesley
Lord, make me an extraordinary Christian.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a
sinner.
This prayer can be modified to only the word "Jesus” and
endlessly
repeated. It is a powerful prayer and can be said under any circumstances.

Thy
Will
Almighty God,
Thy Will,
Nothing More, Nothing Less, Nothing Else!
Psalm 19:14
Let the word of my mouth and the meditation on my
heart
be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
I Accept You Jesus
~ Louisa Godissart McQuillen ~
Jesus…I accept You as Savior;
Acknowledge You as Lord; Praise You as King;
Bow to You as Master; Adore You as Prince of Peace;
Run to You as Comforter; Call on You as Deliverer;
Rely on You as Confidante; Trust You as Counselor;
Walk with You as Friend.
Amen.

The
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so
much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For, It is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
The Serenity Prayer
~ Reinhold Niebuhr ~
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Prayer by St. Patrick
I rise today with the power of God to guide me,
The might of God to uphold me,
The wisdom of God to teach me,
The eye of God to watch over me,
The ear of God to hear me,
The word of God to give me speech,
The hand of God to protect me,
The path of God to lie before me,
The shield of God to shelter me,
The host of God to defend me against the snares
of the devil and the temptations of the world,
against every man who meditates injury to me,
whether far or near.
Amen.

A-C-T-S-S
~
Charles Allen ~
“Acts” with an extra S can be used as a guide for prayer.
A is for
adoration -- begin prayer by praising God.
C is for confession -- confess our
sins and He will forgive.
T is for thanksgiving -- count your
blessings.
S is for supplication -- prayer for
others.
S is for submission -- not my will,
but Yours, be done

Prayer
of the Thirsty
by Max Lucado
W-E-L-L
God’s WORD,
God’s ENERGY,
God’s LORDSHIP, and
God’s LOVE
Lord,
I come thirsty. I come to drink, to receive.
I receive your work on the Cross and in your resurrection.
My sins are pardoned, and my death is defeated.
I receive your energy.
Empowered by Your Holy Spirit,
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
I receive your lordship.
I belong to you.
Nothing comes to me that hasn’t passed through you.
And I receive your love.
Nothing can separate me from your love.
Amen.

Day
by Day
~ St. Richard of Chischesterr ~
Day by day, O Lord, three things I pray:
To see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly,
follow thee more clearly, day by day.
Amen.
True & Fruitful Branch
~ Mother Teresa ~
Let us all become a true and fruitful branch on the vine Jesus,
by accepting Him in our lives as it pleases Him to come:
as the Truth-to be told; as the Life-to be lived;
as the Light-to be lighted; as the Love-to be loved;
as the Way-to be walked; as the Joy-to be given;
as the Peace-to be spread; as the Sacrifice-to be offered,
in our families and our neighbors.
Amen.
Prayer for Protection
~ James Dillet Freeman ~
The light of God surrounds us;
The love of God enfolds us;
The power of God protects us;
The presence of God watches over us.
Wherever we are, God is.
And all is well.
Amen.

A
Morning Prayer
Thank you God for standing by me so far this day.
With your help, I haven’t been impatient, grumpy,
judgmental or lost my temper. But I’ll be getting out of
bed soon, and I’ll really be needing your help even more.
Amen.
Everyday Prayer
Lord,
I love you and I need you.
Come into my heart and bless me,
my family, my home, and my friends.
Amen.
Prayer by Oren Arnold
Dear God, I pray for patience and I want it right
now!
Don’t Worry, Pray!
If you worry, why pray?
If you pray, why worry?
Don’t worry about anything;
Instead, pray about everything;
Tell God your needs and don’t
forget to thank Him for His answers.

Family
Prayer
God made us a family.
We need one another.
We love one another.
We forgive one another.
We work together.
We play together.
We worship together.
Together we use God’s word.
Together we grow in Christ.
Together we love all people.
We serve our God.
Together we hope for Heaven.
These are our hopes and ideas.
Help us to attain them,
O God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
